A third TEDx Skidmore College took place last week, this one focused on themes of change, touching everything from food to gender to politics to music.
Many would describe this election season as exhausting, but at Skidmore it has been interesting and exploratory. Students, faculty, and staff have participated in community dialogues regarding the presidential campaigns, challenging each other's views and questioning values showcased by the candidates.
Skidmore's third TEDx--two faculty members, two students, and a standup comic, all riffing on the theme of change--happens Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. in the Zankel Music Center.
Skidmore business professor Minita Sanghvi has some insights into Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. A scholar of the marketing of female politicians, Sanghvi says Clinton has a Freudian asset that could be boosting her appeal among voters: she's following her husband.
