Since the 2024 Demo­cra­tic National Con­ven­ti­on, Kamala Harris’s campaign is unfolding against the backdrop of a populist surge in American politics.
While one of her campaign slogans, „Were not going back,“ high­lights how her campaign sees threats to voting rights and to womens equality under a potential second Trump pre­si­den­cy, Harris has tried to return American politics to an older era of pre-Trump politics.
Professor Dr. Gevas lecture considers how and why Harris has chosen a mostly non-populist path, and the potential costs and benefits of this approach to her campaign.

Dr. Dorit Geva is the Professor of Gender and Politics at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Vienna since January 2024. She is a leading expert on trans­for­ma­ti­ons in rightwing politics in Europe, including the rise of women in populist radical rightwing parties.
