Samantha Power & Áine Lawlor: The State of the US

How do we think about the domestic situation in the United States, and America’s role in the world, as the November 2020 presidential election approaches? Samantha Power, Pulitzer Prize–winning author, Harvard professor, and US Ambassador to the United Nations under President Barack Obama from 2013-2017, will discuss the current state of America and her recent fascinating memoir, The Education of an Idealist, with Áine Lawlor, broadcaster and journalist. Samantha Power and Áine Lawlor participated in this event via video. This talk was recorded in front of a live audience in September 2020 as part of Galway International Arts Festival's Autumn Edition. More: https://www.giaf.ie/festival/event/the-state-of-the-us
