Program
Summary
The 2024 presidential election cycle promises to be momentous in various ways, including highlighting established and rising national leaders and providing a venue to debate vital issues being contested at the national, state and local levels. In July, Milwaukee will host the Republican National Convention, and in August, Democrats will hold their National Convention in Chicago. This is a unique moment to reassess why and how 'elections have consequences' in the American political context. In this class we will interact with guest speakers who are experts in elections and politics and explore as a group and individually some prominent policy and political issues. Elections do have consequences in terms of political processes and outcomes. This course examines the key players (including candidates, media, interest groups and governmental officials), and policies that are central to the 2024 election cycle, with a grounding in U.S. political theory and history.
