Dear Alumni, The election year in the United States is heating up as the fall approaches. The Presidential election looks to be one of the closest contests ever and the closely divided Congress could change hands as well. Join the State Alumni website for a discussion of these and other issues! There will be a Q&A Live event on Wednesday, August 25 from 8:30-9:30am Washington DC time about the 2004 elections in the United States. The guest will be Dr. Allan J. Lichtman, professor of history at American University in Washington DC. Allan J. Lichtman is Professor and Chair of the Department of History at American University in Washington, D.C. His areas of scholarship include the American presidency, conservative politics, quantitative methodology, and voting rights and redistricting. He has published more than 100 scholarly and popular articles as well as six books, including, most recently, The Keys to the White House (1996, rev. ed. 2000), which explains and predicts presidential election results. The “Keys” system predicted well ahead of time the outcome of every presidential election from 1984 to 1996. His other books include The Thirteen Keys to the Presidency; Prejudice and Old Politics: The Presidential Election of 1928; Your Family History; and Ecological Inference. He is the editor of the Lexington Books series, Studies in Modern American History. He has been published in the American Historical Review, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, New Republic, Washington Monthly, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, and Los Angeles Times. Dr. Lichtman provides commentary for major U.S. and foreign broadcast companies -- including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, BBC, as well as other international networks -- and is a columnist for the Montgomery Gazette. He has served as an expert witness in more than 70 federal voting rights and redistricting cases. He received the 1992-1993 Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award, American University's highest faculty honor. Dr. Lichtman did his undergraduate studies at Brandeis University and earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University and has been a Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the California Institute of Technology. Please join us and submit your questions for Dr. Lichtman. If the time does not fit your schedule, you can log in ahead of time and submit a question. To submit a question now or during the event, follow this link: https://alumni.state.gov/?fuseaction=mod_dis Possible topics can include the Presidential election, Congressional elections or a State-level election question. Questions may include: Who will win the Presidential election? What role will foreign policy play in the Presidential election? What is the effect of a President of one party and a legislature of another party? Or ask how issues specific to you country are being handled this election year. We look forward to your participation in this exciting discussion!!! |
