The results of the recent US Presidential election offer an insight into the state of domestic politics and priorities of the electorate. With President-elect Trumps impending start in January, the selection of Cabinet members dominates the headlines and will shape the incoming Government's politics over the next four years.

Join us as Professor Rodrigo Praino, Director of the Jeff Bleich Centre, presents an analysis of the recent US election, the selection of Cabinet members, possible recess appointments, and what this means for politics in the US and abroad.


*6pm for a 6.15pm start.
