Monday 30th April - “The Race to the White House: Past and Present”

Professor Tony Badger and Jonathan Freedland

8:45pm - Latimer Room

Clare Politics is wrapping up for this year on the 30th with an event hosted by none other than Professor Tony Badger himself, master of Clare College, along with Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland (who habitually documents the American political scene). Jonathan intends to speak about both leading US parties’ performances in the run-up to this year’s election; Professor Badger will examine what it is about the American political system that, after all the promise of 2008, has made Obama’s presidency and his battle for re-election so difficult.

If you have any future suggestions as to who you would like to see address Clare Politics please don’t hesitate to tell us! Email our Secretary, Philip Liebman, and we’ll attempt some magic.
