Bernie Sanders and students

With introductory speakers Dr. Sara Polak (University of Leiden / American Studies) and Dr. William Michael Schmidli (University of Leiden / History). Event hosted by Dirk-Jan Nieuwenhuis (Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Organised by LSV Minerva in cooperation with Bot Uitgevers and Cultuurfonds Leiden.

“Senator Bernie Sanders, a champion of social and economic justice, joins us not as a distant figure but as a fellow advocate for progress. He’s here to share insights, answer your questions, and engage in an inclusive conversation that reflects the values of a democratic society. While this will be the focus of the event, Senator Sanders will briefly be introduced by two guest speakers who will explore how the message of his book reflects the current economic and social landscape in America.

This setting is designed to bring Senator Sanders and students, closer together, bridging the gap between politics and the future generation. Your questions will guide the conversation, and we trust that this dialogue will ignite your curiosity and inspire critical thinking.
