Sept. 22: SCIENCE PUB – edition #34: Where Did he Come From? Trump at the Limits of Explanation! Our wildly popular Science Pub Series returns for a fifth incredible season! Enjoy lectures on scientific topics of general interest in our Arizona Room (main floor banquet room) over beer and snacks. The room opens at 5:00 PM and quite often is full by 6:00 PM. Avoid disappointment and come down early for dinner and a pint before the presentation which begins at 7:00 PM. This month's lecture will be presented by Jim Farney, Associate Professor in Politics and International Studies at The University of Regina. This should be a well-attended lecture! How are we to understand the rise of Donald Trump? And could we have predicted it? This talk will answer these questions by presenting some of the frameworks political scientists have developed to understand American electoral politics, put Trump's candidacy in the context of those theories, and ask what Trump's campaign means for our ability to predict and explain politics.
