Election 2024: What’s at Stake? Panel #2: Domestic Policy

What’s at stake in the 2024 Presidential Election, both at home and abroad?

This October, we’re bringing together leading political experts and scholars for a three-part panel series exploring key topics shaping this pivotal election, including voting behavior, domestic policy, and the global implications of U.S. foreign policy.

This program is the result of a partnership with The Academy of Political Science, and is is also supported by the Urban and Social Policy Program and Institute of Global Politics at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

Attendance is free and open to the public, but registration is limited.
