Visiting political scientists from the University of Denver discuss the upcoming U.S. election with students in a packed auditorium at Eden, moderated by Professor Jonathan Polk.

On Thursday, the Eden auditorium was filled with students when the Department of Political Science was visited by researchers from the University of Denver to analyze and discuss the political situation ahead of the upcoming elections in the United States.

The panel, which was moderated by our own Professor Jonathan Polk, consisted of Professor Seth Masket, Assistant Professor Jesse Acevedo and Assistant Professor Phil Chen. After these introductory speeches, Associate Professor Moira Nelson asked a number of in-depth questions and then the floor was left free to the engaged audience of students, researchers and former colleagues who were allowed to ask their questions.
