Welcome to a debate on media influence, polarization and the spectacle of American politics. In November, U.S. voters will decide whether the next president will be Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

Young voters are expected to have a decisive impact in certain swing states. But on what basis will they cast their votes? How will age, gender and ethnicity influence the outcome? 

How important are memes and influencers, and how can voters see past the theatrics and grasp the real stakes of this election? 

Don't miss Debatt i Lund on 14 October at 7 PM. Be on time—seating is limited. Door opens at 6.30 pm

Panel:

• Rakel Chukri, cultural journalist at Sydsvenskan, with a long-standing interest in American politics.

• Michael Bossetta, political scientist specializing in the impact of social media on politics.

• Aaron James Goldman, researcher in religious studies, specializing in Christianity, nationalism, and conspiracy theories.

• Sanna Torén Björling, journalist at DN, former U.S. correspondent, and author of books on the US.

The debate will be moderated by Karin Arbsjö, journalist at Sveriges Radio
