Scholars emphasize importance of gender, race and religion in 2024 election

Stanford Daily staff writer Alula Alderson covered our event, "Gender and the 2024 U.S. Elections: Post-Inaugural Perspectives," in The Daily on November 7th: 

"Gender, race and religion shape and reflect contemporary American politics, scholars emphasized at a Wednesday event. Five experts in history, gender studies and government offered their perspective on recent U.S. elections, underscoring the idea that “the personal is political,” a phrase coined by activist Carol Hanisch in her 1969 essay of the same name.

"The event came several months after President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election and the defeat of former-Vice President Kamala Harris, the nation’s second female presidential candidate from a major political party. Commentators observed a surge of support for Trump among young men."
