Two of America's most brilliant and experienced political analysts and reporters, Jonah Goldberg and Mara Liasson, share the stage to deliver clear-cut analysis on the headlines impacting the race for the White House in 2020.
Goldberg is a popular syndicated political columnist, former National Review senior editor, and best-selling author. He offers audiences a bold, provocative critique of the political landscape with an approach that centers on liberal and conservative ideologies, economic policy, and the changing role of modern-day media.
Liasson is best known for her work as National Public Radio's former White House correspondent and for her reporting on NPR programs such Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Fearless in her opinion, she offers audiences a perceptive view of the candidates and the issues of the 2020 campaign.
The discussion will be moderated by Andy Rudalevige, Bowdoin's Thomas Brackett Reed Professor of Government.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions before or during the talk. To do so, please email your question to jadolf@bowdoin.edu.

The conversation with Senator King will take place next Thursday, September 24, at 5:30 p.m. Hosted by Senior Vice President and Dean for Academic Affairs Jennifer Scanlon and presented on Zoom, the event will be open to the Bowdoin community and to the public. You may submit questions for Senator King in advance by emailing: townhallquestions@bowdoin.edu or live during the event using Zoom’s Q&A feature.
This four-event public programming series from the Bowdoin College History Department focuses on The 1619 Project, published last year by The New York Times Magazine. The initiative grew out of calls by our students and colleagues to address the outrage, protests and pain following the murder of George Floyd as well as the continuing importance of the Black Lives Matter movement.
For each session, two to three faculty members from the History Department will discuss relevant themes and readings. These sessions will be held remotely.
The goals of these gatherings are three-fold: to affirm the History Department's and Bowdoin College's continued commitment to inclusion and diversity in light of recent events; to use our skills as historians to analyze and share our interpretations of this current moment of racial reckoning for the Bowdon community with the help of The 1619 Project; and to answer the call from Academic Affairs to create programming for students, especially first-years on campus, during this difficult time.
