Mapping the Race to the White House: The Political and Constitutional Factors That Shape the 2024 Presidential Election
Dear Members and Friends of the AmerikaHaus NRW,
Together with the North American Studies Program at the University of Bonn, the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, and the Deutsch-Kanadische Gesellschaft e.V. we cordially invite you to a lecture on:
Mapping the Race to the White House :
The Political and Constitutional Factors That Shape the 2024 Presidential Election
PD Dr. Jasper Trautsch, North American Studies Program, University of Bonn
Tuesday, April 23, 2024 | 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. | Rabinstr. 8 | Seminarroom 8 | 53111 Bonn
This year’s presidential race is likely to be particularly close, with possibly only a few thousand voters in battleground states determining the outcome. With this prospect ahead, Dr. Trautsch looks at the constitutional and political factors – such as the function of the electoral college, the importance of swing states, the impact of independent candidates and choices of potential vice presidents – that will shape the 2024 election. Interrogating this framework, his lecture lays out a road map for an analysis of the upcoming election campaign.
PD Dr. Jasper Trautsch is a Senior Lecturer in U.S. politics at the North American Studies program of the University of Bonn. Holding a PhD from the Free University of Berlin and a post-doctoral degree from the University of Regensburg, his current research focuses on transatlantic relations and their visualization on maps in the 20th century.
This event will be held in English.
This event is part of the Lecture Series "Current Issues in North American and Cultural Studies" of the North American Studies Program.
We cordially thank our partners for their cooperation!
