Presidential Election Debate: America Decides<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 November 2016, 7-8pm plus time for questions and answers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lecture Theatre 2, Roland Levinsky Building, Plymouth University<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"clinton-trump\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Presidential elections rarely lack controversy but 2016 is proving\u00a0to be the most interesting contest in generations. Nominees Hillary Clinton (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican) attract partisan admiration and derision in almost equal measure and their emergence starkly illustrates the polarisation of American politics.<\/p>\n

Clinton, who would become the first female president, is seen by many as untrustworthy, while controversies about Trump\u2019s xenophobia, misogyny and inconsistency have stalked his candidacy without diminishing his appeal.<\/p>\n

Dr Simon Topping<\/a> (Associate Professor in United States History), Dr Harry Bennett<\/a> (Reader in History) and Dr David Brockington<\/a> (Lecturer in Politics and Social Science Methods)\u00a0discuss the election and the implications of either a Clinton or a Trump presidency on the very day of the election.\u00a0They are also writing a blog<\/a> with their commentary\u00a0in the run up to the elections.<\/p>\n

Ticket information<\/b>: \u00a36\/\u00a34.20. Discounts available via the Artory App<\/a> and free to Plymouth University students via SPIA<\/a>.<\/p>\n
