Swing vote ‘trumped’ turnout in 2016 election

At the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, a renewed interest in tariffs offered an opportunity to harness the university’s expertise through a short course for faculty to brush up on the concept and learn what the latest research reveals.

In an interview, Shapiro—Sterling Professor of Political Science—explained that the research is “a case study that shows how single-issue politics weakens political parties and empowers fringe groups with intense preferences.”

David Bromwich, Sterling Professor of English and Bryan Garsten, Professor of Political Science and Humanities were among three faculty invested as members of the American Academy of Sciences & Letters during a ceremony this week.
