What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been: Race, Social Movements, and the 2016 Presidential Race

Douglas McAdam

Douglas McAdam of Stanford University will talk on the roles social movements and electoral politics have made in shifts in public policy—pushing Republicans and Democrats away from the center and more toward the fringes. Using data from polls, he will show insights about the upcoming 2016 presidential election.  

Washington University's Department of Sociology is hosting this lecture, with co-sponsorship from the Weidenbaum Center and School of Law’s Public Interest Law & Policy Speakers Series.
