Fulbright lecture to explore American politics

A distinguished American politics expert will deliver a public lecture at Charles Darwin University’s Casuarina campus tomorrow (Thursday, 23 April) as part of Fulbright Northern Territory Day.

Fulbright Distinguished Chair in American Political Science Professor Thad Kousser will discuss how divisions between major political parties in the United States might impact on domestic policy-making.

In the talk, entitled “American Political Polarisation and the Presidential Race of 2016”, Professor Kousser also will compare such trends in American politics with those in Australia.

Professor Kousser will deliver the lecture at Blue Building 1.01 Lecture Theatre on Casuarina campus on Thursday, 23 April from 4pm until 5pm.
