Beskrivelse

Trying to make sense of what’s happening in the world right now? Join Deakin academics Zim and Clare in conversation with Emma Shortis and Tim Lynch, two Australian academics and leading experts on US politics and history, with sharply different perspectives. From current global conflicts and the resultant media narratives to questions around Australian identity and how our future fits alongside the US, nothing is off the table. This episode offers a rare chance to hear informed, differing perspectives side by side. The conversation is (mostly) diplomatic, always engaging, and packed with insight into the biggest issues shaping both America and Australia.

America’s Election Expert Finds Answers Down Under

Welcome to Season Two of Presidency Upending! In this first episode, Clare and Zim dive into the complexities of U.S. politics with one of America’s leading experts on election law, Professor Edward B. Foley from Ohio State University. Foley offers historical context and clarity on some of the most perplexing features of American politics, from the Electoral College and campaign finance to the intricacies of social choice theory and the growing challenge of political polarisation. The answer to which, Foley believes, may lie in the work of Melbourne’s very own Edward Nanson, a 19th-century professor whose innovative electoral system inspired Foley’s visit to Australia.
