The USA in a permanent election campaign

What can you expect?

A concise insight into US politics in the run-up to the 2026 midterms: why these elections are crucial for President Trump and Congress, and why the party in the White House traditionally faces headwinds. The lecture highlights power relations, election campaign strategies and the limits of presidential influence in a clear and vivid manner. It makes it clear why developments in the US directly affect Europe and Austria and why sound political education is important for prospective teachers.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ingrid Gessner, English and American Studies, Institute for Secondary Education and Subject Didactics at PH Vorarlberg.
