New Podcast: Amerikaanalys
2019-08-23
The news noise about the United States is sometimes deafening. The new podcast Amerikaanalys (in Swedish) should appeal to those who really want to understand what is happening, and why, in American politics and social development. We discuss topics that do not really fit into the usual news flow. Together with a US-based journalist, researchers from Halmstad University and Uppsala University talk in depth about the complex and difficult issues.
