SUMMARY:US Politics: Inauguration Day - Crisis of Democracy in The USA? With Dr Jenny Mathers From Aberystwyth University
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\n  \n \n  \nThis workshop looks ahead to a second Trump presidency\, using key indications from Donald Trump’s election campaign to explore wider themes about American politics. \nThe United States is often upheld as a beacon of democracy\, but events in recent years have revealed serious challenges to US democratic institutions and to America’s culture of democracy\, which are only likely to intensify over the next four years. \nBeginning with a discussion of the purposes of presidential inaugurations and what we might see in Trump’s inauguration on 20 January 2025\, the workshop explores the likely impact of a second Trump presidency on: freedom of the press; the impartiality of the law; immigration and the basis of citizenship itself with threats to end birthright citizenship. \nFully interactive\, this session looks behind the news headlines to explore the meaning of democracy and the relationship between state institutions and democratic culture. \nA level Syllabus Themes: Government and politics of the USA; electoral process and direct democracy; political parties; civil rights. \n  \nLecturer Profile: Dr Jenny Mathers is Senior Lecturer in International Politics\, Department of International Politics\, Aberystwyth University.
