On Tuesday 5th November, experts from our Politics department and colleagues from other schools held a panel event – discussing the US election – with many students, staff members, and members of the public in attendance.<\/p>\n
Dr Andy Wroe<\/a>, a specialist in American politics, and Dr Rubrick Biegon<\/a>, a specialist in US foreign policy, discussed the projections and possible implications of the election outcome. We were joined by Dr Aur\u00e9lie Basha i Novosejt<\/a>, Senior Lecturer in American history and Andrew Jauert, a History student, who provided historical context to the 2024 contest.<\/p>\n Special shoutout to our co-organisers too – thank you to the History department<\/a><\/strong> and the UKC History Society<\/strong><\/a> for helping with the event.<\/p>\n Later in the evening, we held a watch party! More than a hundred students gathered to enjoy refreshments and discuss the election while watching the news coverage of early exit poll results.<\/p>\n
