As the U.S. presidential election campaign heats up, the timing is right for early reviews of the Obama presidency: What successes and failures seem notable as we look back over the past seven years? How might we catalog Obama’s strengths and weaknesses? What challenges has the president left for his successor?
The Centre for the Study of the United States will take a first run at these and other questions with a special event on January 19th at the Munk School of Global Affairs. CSUS faculty will join experts from Sciences Po/Paris in a webcast that will bring speakers and audiences into conversation with each other.
Speakers:
- Mario Del Pero, Professor of International History at the Institut D’études Politiques (Sciences Po), Paris, and Visiting Professor, International History, at the Graduate Institute Geneva (Via Video-Conference)
- Barton Gordon, former member of the U.S. House of Representatives (Democrat-Tennessee), currently teaching a course at Sciences Po on U.S. politics (via video-conference)
- Ronald Pruessen, Professor of History, University of Toronto, and currently writing on a book about Barack Obama and U.S. foreign policy traditions
- Peter Loewen, Associate Professor of Political Science, and Director of the Centre for the Study of the United States, at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto
