This seminar explores the 2026 midterm elections as a socioeconomic, cultural, and political process from a wide range of transdisciplinary American Studies perspectives. Our point of departure will be that the election year is a complex nexus that intertwines various internal power struggles within the United States, exposing various linkages between policy issues, public discourses, and media representations. In particular, we will consider various hot-button issues during the peak of the electoral race.
