Professor Jan-Werner Müller of Princeton University will discuss far-right populism in Europe on March 21 at 5 PM in Shreve Auditorium. This subject matter is particularly pertinent given the upcoming European Parliament elections taking place in June. Will the populist far-right triumph? What are the underlying political dynamics at play? Dr. Müller will address these questions and more during his comprehensive talk.
In addition to shedding light on the contemporary political landscape, Professor Müller will put these developments into a historical context. He will also evaluate the various strategies that have been proposed to push back against the rise of the populist far right. This is an opportunity that students and faculty will appreciate if they are keen on understanding the complex interplay of politics in Europe -and the world- today.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from an esteemed figure in the field of politics and social sciences. We look forward to seeing you at Shreve Auditorium for this timely discussion.
