\"\"<\/a>IGS Symposium, How far have we come in equal political representation? \u00a0Lessons from the 2016 presidential election in the US<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Date<\/strong>: Saturday, 18 March, 13:30-17:00
\nVenue<\/strong>: Room 304, Inter-Faculty Building 1, Ochanomizu University<\/p>\n

The world watched closely the US presidential election last year, which drew attention over the possibility of the first female president versus \u201cthe outsider\u201d with no prior political experience. In this regard, gender, ethnicity, and immigration became focal points, and a fierce competition over \u201cAmerican values\u201d broke out in the campaign. Since the inauguration, the Trump administration announced a number of policies that rejected diversity in line with his \u201cAmerica First\u201d campaign promises.<\/p>\n

Who supported Donald Trump and why? Why did the \u201cAmerica\u2019s First Female Presidential Candidate\u201d fail? How should we interpret Trump administration\u2019s first political moves?<\/p>\n

The purpose of the symposium is to understand the results of the recent presidential election as well as the social implications of Trump\u2019s policies from the perspective of gender and diversity. In the first session of the symposium, we invite experts on American politics to give keynote speeches, and in the second session we organize a roundtable consisting of gender and politics scholars and keynote speakers, and ask them to discuss issues relevant to Trump\u2019s policies. We look forward to participation from researchers interested in American politics, as well as the support and participation of the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
