The Present and Future of US Politics: Conservatism
As the United States heads into a high-stakes presidential election, this seminar series explores the structural problems and political challenges behind the headlines. We examine why American politics is so polarised and ask: what is at stake in the 2024 election?

The seminars will open with a short presentation by an expert, followed by questions and discussion. Everyone with an interest in US politics is welcome. Lunch will be available.

Week 2: Conservatism
With the Trumpian takeover of the GOP, what does ‘conservatism’ mean in 2024, and what is its future?
