Designed especially with Brown undergraduates in mind, but welcoming all members of the University and wider community, this seminar series meets in the weeks both before and after Election Day to analyze what’s truly at stake in this election.

In the context of American history, contemporary global politics, and current issues in U.S. social, political, and economic affairs, guest speakers will set before the seminar participants the essential issues and then facilitate probing discussions.

The seminar’s goal is bear witness to a historic election, illuminating the “dangers and opportunities of right here and right now.”

Mark Blyth is the Eastman Professor of Political Economy and a Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs.
