Callie Crossley will guide a conversation just weeks before the election with Tito Jackson ’99, former Boston city counselor and mayoral candidate; Emily Baer, UNH assistant professor of political science; and Kurk Dorsey, UNH professor of history, about the potential outcomes of the 2020 elections, covering the presidential and congressional races, as well as New Hampshire’s contests. From the long lens of history to the micro level of ground-game politics, the panel will contextualize and analyze the current political moment and consider what it tells us about our nation’s future.
