If you’ve been anywhere on the internet lately, you’re probably aware there’s an upcoming election in the United States on November 3, 2020. As such, Ask a Political Scientist has launched a weekly series on topics in regards to the upcoming election.
Ask a Political Scientist is a live-streaming show presented free on Youtube, which works to explain complex political topics from host Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D. Each episode streams on Thursday at 7pm EST.
Here’s the list of topics
- Polarization (Sept. 24): How did this happen, is it as horrible as it seems, and what do we do about it?
- The Media (Oct. 1): Force for good? Force for evil? Somewhere in between?
- Misinformation (Oct. 8): The true end of humanity or just ONE of the true ends of humanity?
- Race and Politics (Oct. 15): Where do racial attitudes come from, and how do they affect our politics, and vice versa?
- Political Identity (Oct. 22): What does it mean to have a political identity, and how does it affect how we vote?
- Getting Out the Vote (Oct. 29): Seriously, though, why do people vote and how do we get more of them to do it!?
You can watch for free here, but optional donation options will be available weekly should you want to contribute to various charities.
