In this episode, Chloe and Emma welcome a very special guest - Dr Elizabeth Ingelson, Henry Chauncey Jr. ’57 Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University. Joining them from New Haven, Connecticut, Lizzie discusses what it is like to live in Trump’s America. They cover how the United States is responding to pandemic, Lizzie’s experience in rural Pennsylvania, and the volatile state of American politics.
They then turn to Lizzie’s expertise—the history of the United States and China. Lizzie brings extraordinary complexity and understanding to what is an otherwise impoverished conversation both in the US and here at home. She explains why ‘strategic competition’ is dangerous, Trump’s connections to the history the relationship, and why climate change overshadows everything.
