MEDIA ADVISORY: R00231 – 27 October 2016

A presidential candidate accused of sexually assaulting more than a dozen women over the years. Another accused of deleting thousands of emails. Debates heavy on character assassination.

The U.S. election campaign has been one like no other, and on Tuesday a panel of Brock University experts will examine what’s happening in our neighbouring country.

The Making Sense of the U.S. Presidential Election panel will be held Tuesday, Nov. 1 from 7-9 p.m. in the Mills Room of the St. Catharines Public Library. Tickets are free, but must be reserved online.

Brock associate professor in history Tami Friedman, along with political science assistant professor Stefan Dolgert and associate professor Paul Hamilton, will be looking at such issues as what’s new and different about this U.S. presidential campaign, how sexism and racism plays out, and what might happen the day after the Nov. 8 presidential election.
