A panel discussion featuring KATHA POLLITT, JANE MANSBRIDGE, DIANNE PINDERHUGHES, and GARY SEGURA.
ISSUES OF SEX, GENDER, AND RACE have come to the fore during this election cycle.

Wherever the campaigns are in late September, Penn DCC has invited four astute commentators and scholars to help trace the complicated, and in many ways unprecedented, roles that sex, gender, and race have played in the politics of 2016.
