Race, Religion, and the Presidential Election
Ever since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, pundits have debated whether “economic anxiety” or “racial resentment” played a greater role in his victory. Political scientists John Sides and Michael Tesler, co-authors of Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America (2018), have an empirical answer to that question.
Join Professor Sides and Professor Tesler in conversation with David Glasgow, Executive Director at the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, to discuss the demographic and identity drivers behind Trumpism, and the dynamics that will shape the 2020 presidential election.
We have purchased a number of e-book copies of the speakers’ book, Identity Crisis. Attendees of this event will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a copy of the e-book, and will be notified after the event if they have been selected.
