History and political science professors discussed the economic and political events of the upcoming 2010 mid-term elections compared to those of the 1934 mid-term elections. After each of the three panelists had made a presentation they all responded to questions from members of the audience. Professor Hurt chaired the panel.
“Why Obama Is Not Like Roosevelt” or “U.S. Mid-Term Election: Why 2010 Is Not Like 1934” was an event of the fourth annual Experience Liberal Arts month of Purdue University’s College of Liberal Arts. Held in the Krannert Building auditorium, the panel was co-sponsored by the History and Political Science departments.
