The day after — Panel debate on the elections, their results and Obama’s coming challenges
In spite of a seemingly never-ending presidential campaign, a long election night and a tension-induced shortness of sleep for many of the U.S.-interested students in Lund, the small Room 128 in the Department of Political Science was at lunch time solidly packed with people collectively letting out a sigh of relief over Obama’s victory. Interested in hearing more insights on the campaign and Obama’s coming challenges, the surprisingly many who managed to mobilize the energy to once again brave the dense air and the elbow-bruising in Eden required a few minutes to settle down, but soon enough the panel consisting of the Department’s Magnus Jerneck (professor), Håkan Magnusson (associate professor) and Jacob Sohlberg (assistant professor), together with moderator Maria Green (Harvard; Full Bright Lund Chair at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute), was able to start enlightening the audience.
