TRiSS Bitesize Discussion and Pizza - The US Midterm Elections

Join us for a discussion and Q&A session on the US Midterm Elections, on Tuesday 17 November, 12 - 1pm at the TRiSS Seminar Room.

We are delighted to have three academics from various schools present their thoughts and views on the results of the recent midterm elections in America.

Professor Raj Chari is the Director of TRiSS. He is a political scientist from Canada who once taught US politics, so has a few insights to share, especially on the neighboring states such as Michigan and Minnesota.

Professor Daniel Geary is from the Department of History, he will address historical parallels for the scale of the Democrats victory and consider what it means for the futures of both the Democratic and Republican parties. 

Professor David Kenny is Professor in Law at the Law School, he will discuss "lame duck" presidents, the unitary executive, and the possible separation of powers show down between the legislative and executive branches in the coming years.

There is no charge for this in-person event but you must register by Monday 16 November, 12 noon, to ensure we have enough pizza!
