Like me, you might look at US politics and elections and ask yourself questions like “what? why is it like that? How did THAT happen?” and think things like “These elections seem to go on forever...”, “who would come up with such a system??!”, and combine a sense of screaming internally with morbid fascination when looking at the past decade of US politics.
If this sounds like you — or you just would love to know more about the American elections, and the 2024 election in particular — then come along to a fascinating-looking WORD Christchurch event on Monday 18 November in the Tautoru/TSB Space at Tūranga.
Hear University of Canterbury’s Head of Humanities Peter Field chat with American Studies academic Maureen Montgomery about the 2024 election, what it means for America, and what it means for the rest of the world.
I’m looking forward to learning more about how things turned out as they did on 5 November.
