Greetings all,

Join us for a timely and important conversation with Sam Tanenhaus and Richard Wolin reflecting on the 2016 election and its implications for the future of American politics.

With Donald Trump’s election to the presidency, the unthinkable has occurred and a threshold has been breached. The certainties of American politics no longer apply. The traditional

assumptions of mainstream conservatism have been upended. The Democrats, for their part, were humiliated in the rust-belt states that, for decades, had been a major source of strength.

Please join us for an assessment of how the November 8, 2016 election will impact America’s political future.

Cosponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor of the City University of New York, the Writers’ Institute, and the PhD Program in Political Science at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
