Transatlantic Perspectives

American Politics in the Age of Trump: What Happened in the U.S.? 

American politics has undergone a fundamental transformation in the so-called “Trump era.”
The U.S. president is challenging the structures of political institutions and has changed political behavior itself.

We invite you to a panel discussion featuring three American scholars who will discuss the current state of U.S. politics and future prospects. 

Our guests are:
Prof. Susan Herbst, Professor of Political Science and former President of the University of Connecticut (UCONN)
Prof. Thomas Hayes, Professor of Political Science, UCONN
Prof. Tyler Page, Professor of Communication Studies, UCONN 

You can look forward to an engaging discussion on the state of American domestic politics and transatlantic relations. The event will be held in English.

Thursday, May 21, 2026, 7:00 p.m.

We would like to thank the Baden-Württemberg-Connecticut Exchange Program for its financial support of this event.
