Join UCI political scientists in a discussion of the 2024 election - an unprecedented high-stakes matchup with global implications. The panelists will talk about the institution of the presidency itself, and what this election may portend for it; the state of the polls; and the rise of new demographic segments of the American electorate.
Panelists include:

|
| Matthew Beckmann
|
|
Professor, Political Science, UCI
|
|
|
| Beckmann studies Washington politics, particularly those involving the White House. His new book - The President's Day: Managing Time in the Oval Office - explains and tests the seemingly pedestrian but actually fascinating rudiments of presidents' daily work: time, people, and process. Beckmann teaches courses about American politics, including The U.S. Presidency and Postwar Presidents; research seminars about Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush (43); as well as a writing seminar entitled "Writing for POTUS." He has been recognized as Professor of the Year, Mentor of the Year, and won the Instructional Technology Teaching Award. |
