But these elections reflect both historic continuities and longterm changes that have been shaping American politics and policymaking for more than a century. As such, these state-level, political contests offer an important window into &nbsp;US democratic processes, the perceived power of the president, and the potential for reinvigorated, engaged electorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth Tandy Shermer is the 2023-2024 Fulbright Canada Distinguished Chair in Public Affairs in North America at Carleton University. She is a professor of history focusing on the 20th and 21st century US. Her research on politics, public policy, capitalism, and labor has appeared in&nbsp;op-eds, academic articles, and scholarly books, including&nbsp;Sunbelt Capitalism&nbsp;(2013) and Indentured Students (2021). She is currently finishing a monograph on the public\/private character of American higher education, tentatively titled,&nbsp;The Business of Education as well as an edited collection on work, capitalism, and democracy in the 20th-Century US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-37355","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-02-01T14:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-02-01T16:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"LA","cu_event_meeting_room":"A602","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/37355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/37355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37361,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/37355\/revisions\/37361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=37355"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=37355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
