Presidency Upending

Trying to make sense of what’s happening in the world right now? Join Deakin academics Zim and Clare in conversation with Emma Shortis and Tim Lynch, two Australian academics and leading experts on US politics and history, with sharply different perspectives.
From current global conflicts and the resultant media narratives to questions around Australian identity and how our future fits alongside the US, nothing is off the table.
This episode offers a rare chance to hear informed, differing perspectives side by side. The conversation is (mostly) diplomatic, always engaging, and packed with insight into the biggest issues shaping both America and Australia.
