At an upcoming public lecture at Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q), Dr Samuel Potolicchio (pictured) will share his understanding of the recent US presidential elections.
Georgetown expert will weigh in on "Why Trump Won US Elections", said the press release.
As the man elected after one of the most contentious and confounding presidential elections in recent history takes his place in the White House, a Georgetown University expert hopes to offer an explanation of what happened.
Potolicchio, who is director of Global and Custom Education at the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University, seeks to explain why Donald Trump won the race and why Hilary Clinton was defeated. The lecture will be held at 6pm today at GU-Q’s Education City campus.
“The talk will give a scientific breakdown of why Trump pulled off the most stunning ascent in American political history, and forecast what this may mean for the future of politics,” said Potolicchio. “We will also judge the effectiveness of the presidential transition.”
The presentation is informed by the questions Potolicchio has received from audiences while travelling abroad and lecturing on the topic in China, Russia, Brazil, and Italy. It will also include commentary on the newly-appointed president’s cabinet decisions and the start of his term of office.
The scholar, who specialises in political and social communications, holds a PhD from Georgetown University and has served as the president of the Preparing Global Leaders Foundation, a leadership training programme for rising leaders from over 100 countries.
