Thursday 7 November
6PM
Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium
It’s been described as America’s biggest decision in decades: voters had to choose whether Donald Trump would return to the White House, or would Kamala Harris be the first woman to become President.
In a country where political divisions seem deeper than ever, can the United States truly be united again – and what does this election mean for the wider world?
This event will offer a considered perspective on the consequences of the election results.
The panel, chaired by Roger Mosey, Master of Selwyn College, will consist of:
- Professor Brendan Simms, professor of international relations and director of the Centre for Geopolitics at the University of Cambridge. Author of ‘Donald Trump: the making of a world view’
- Dr Lauren Wilcox, fellow of Selwyn College; political scientist and director of the University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies
- Dr Christopher Wadibia (SE 2019), affiliated lecturer at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Divinity
