Faculty note: Hutchison in Portugal

UW-Green Bay Professor Ray Hutchison (Public and Environmental Affairs) is spending a semester in Portugal, serving as the Santander Chair of Humanities and Social Sciences at the New University of Lisbon. This past week, he gave the inaugural Santander lecture, entitled “Can Donald Trump Really Become President?” How Political Elections in the United States Work.” This choice of topic stemmed from multiple questions he has received regarding the current presidential campaign, along with far-reaching effects in other countries. Hutchison said that he advised that regardless of a Trump victory, powerful forces are set into motion that will likely affect the future of political culture in the United States.
