X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Dr. Victor draws on political science find
 ings about political parties\, partisan identity\, human psychology\, and 
 media to help explain everyday political events in the context of politica
 l science. The lecture begins with a summary of cutting edge social scienc
 e results that help explain the current state of affairs in American polit
 ics. Then she applies these findings to specific events\, such as: how did
  wearing a face mask to protect against coronavirus become a political sta
 tement?</p>\n<p>The event allows for audience members to pose their own qu
 estions about politics and current events and ask Dr. Victor to provide so
 cial science context &ldquo\;on the spot.&rdquo\; Discussions are aimed at
  being non-partisan\, scientifically informed\, and focused on explanation
  over advocacy of any kind.</p>\n<p>Jennifer Nicoll Victor is Associate Pr
