Making Meaning of the Election – for our School, our City, and our Country

What do the 2020 Presidential Election results mean for our social, racial, and political climate? In 2016, SP2 faculty discussed the most important issues for the 2016 Presidential Election in the SP2 Penn Top 10 initiative. In 2020, many, if not all, of those issues are still a priority today. Join us as our panelists discuss how we make meaning of the election from their various areas of expertise and the implications for our social, racial and political climate. Discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
