The upcoming presidential election will be the topic of the next installment of Campus Community Conversations, to be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 8.

It’s the second in the occasional webinar series that the Office of Inclusive Excellence began this fall.

The Oct. 8 teach-in will feature UCLA law professor Richard Hasen and UB law professor Manoj Mate discussing the challenges facing the nation in the upcoming presidential election. That includes concerns about foreign interference, disinformation, voter suppression and restrictions on minority voter participation, risks posed by nonacceptance of election results and threats to election certification, and the peaceful transition of power.

Hasen is the Gary T. Schwartz Endowed Chair in Law and director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project. He is the author of numerous books on election law, including his latest book, “A Real Right to Vote: How a Constitutional Amendment Can Safeguard American Democracy.”
