Foley Institute 2020 Election Event Series: Populism

About the event

Recent events in cities like Portland and Kenosha have highlighted the growing radicalization of protest. Professor Lowndes will discuss the discursive links between the Trump campaign and the emergent right-wing street violence in historical context.

Joe Lowndes is professor of political science at the University of Oregon. His most recent co-authored book explores the complex racial politics of the contemporary U.S. right from the militia movement to the Alt-Right to the mainstream Republican Party.
