The discussion was focussed on themes relevant to advanced secondary/high school study of US politics (e.g. A-level, IB) and covered topics including bi-partisanship, political culture, elections, the role of Congress, and the Presidency.

The Congress to Campus UK programme brings former Members of the US Congress to the UK to talk with student and general audiences about contemporary US politics. Working with the US Association of Former Members of Congress, the programme is coordinated by the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library and the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford, with support from the British Association for American Studies and the US Embassy London.
