Description of this Master Class for Students
This master class for students will take place online via Zoom. We are only accepting reservations for the waiting list.
Nearly two years have passed since Joe Biden’s inauguration as president, and the 2022 midterm elections on November 8 have altered the make-up of Congress. In light of this, where does the United States stand? What administrative and legislative reforms have the Biden administration brought about and what changes are on the horizon considering the new members of Congress?
This seminar will look at central topics of American politics such as international relations and economic policy, as well as perennial issues like immigration and racial justice. Was the Democratic Party doomed to lose the congressional midterm elections a few weeks ago? And are there any signs of the Republican Party growing more independent of Donald Trump?
As usual, satirical cartoons and videos will provide comic relief on these often dark and serious issues.
This lecture is free of charge. Reservations for the waiting list can be made via e-mail by school teachers and individual students grades 11 through 13. Please include the number of students and your school's name with your waiting list registration.
