Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, October 7, at 7:30 PM, for a primer ahead of the debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, at 9:00 PM. Minita Sanghvi, Assistant Professor of Management and Business, and Lucia Hulsether, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, will discuss gender and race in politics.

This pre-debate primer is a public program of Never Done: 100 Years of Women in Politics and Beyond and is presented by the Tang Teaching Museum and the Political Science Department. Never Done, co-curated by Rachel Seligman, Malloy Curator, and Minita Sanghvi, Assistant Professor of Management and Business, is a celebration, conversation, and critique of the journey women have taken and have yet to take in the struggle for equality and representation in the U.S.

Register for the primer on this Zoom page.
