Ashland University’s
Ashbrook Center Colloquium will host University of Virginia (UVA) professor of politics Dr. James Ceaser, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, on Nov.
18 for a talk entitled “The 2016 Election: The Best Outcome to the Worst Choice?”
In addition to his
position as the Harry F. Byrd Professor of Politics at UVA, Ceasar has held
visiting positions at Oxford University, Princeton University, the University
of Basel and the University of Bordeaux. He is the co-author of a series on American
national elections that has run for nearly 25 years and is the author of
several books, including Presidential Selection, Reconstructing Nature and
Designing a Polity.
“Opinion surveys show
the majority of Americans to be deeply dissatisfied with both of the major
candidates,” Ceaser said. “In unprecedented numbers, voters
are casting their ballots on the basis of the lesser of two evils. Observers
from across the political spectrum have called the 2016 presidential election
the worst choice ever. This talk will explore whether American voters, faced
with this most unfavorable circumstance, managed to secure the best outcome
possible.”
The talk will take
place in the Ashbrook Center, on the eighth floor of Ashford’s Library, and
begin at 3 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
