Please join us for a discussion on “November 4, 2020." Regardless of how you feel about particular candidates, or even electoral politics more generally, it is clear that the current United States presidential election will be deeply consequential for the future of the US and the world in areas of policy (around climate change, immigration, policing and protests, etc.) and law. Beyond these, many are concerned about a potential constitutional crisis and a further step into fascism. What’s at stake if we are not prepared - both intellectually and emotionally - for how we will enter our classrooms and interact with students and other members of the Macalester community whose differing experiences will shape post-election reactions on November 4th? What’s at stake if we are not thinking now about what will happen at Macalester, in Minnesota, in the U.S., and around the world in the run up to, during, and after the November elections?
