Election 2020: Implications for Domestic &
International Politics
Tuesday, October 27, 6-7:30 PM
Via Zoom: https://unh.zoom.us/j/91481593328
Global pandemic. Unemployment, evictions, and food
insecurity. A Second Civil Rights Movement. Rising authoritarianism in the US
and abroad, as the US withdraws from the post-WWII alliances it helped to
build. Wildfires, derechos, fire tornadoes. . . . and murder hornets. 2020 — not
yet over — has been quite a year, and there are few Presidential elections in
our history (1860? 1932?) that could claim to have taken place in a more
fraught and precarious environment.
Join Stephen Pimpare, Principal Lecturer of US Politics &
Public Policy, and Melinda Negron-Gonzales, Associate Professor of Global
Studies, as they offer analysis of the upcoming election, and consider the
implications for the US and the world of a Biden presidency versus a Trump
second term.
There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so bring along
anything you are struggling to make sense of!
