The 2016 US Presidential Election

12 October, 1 to 2pm

Join ACU’s Associate Professor Michael Ondaatje and Associate Professor Brendan O’Connor from the University of Sydney’s US Studies Centre as they discuss one of the most peculiar elections in recent American history.

By focusing on key issues and demographics, the two candidates, the role of the media and what we can expect in the final month of the election, they’ll answer the question we’ve all been dying to know: Who will occupy the Oval Office come 2017? Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
