Unpacking the USA: What's Going On Over There?

With the US midterm elections around the corner, we’ll take a closer look at current affairs through the personal stories of two young people who have experienced life on both sides of the Atlantic.

💬 Denise Nicolas moved from New Jersey to Latvia a few months ago. With Latvian-American and Haitian roots, she is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Social-Cultural Anthropology at the University of Latvia.

💬 Paul Stravelli is a recent graduate of the Riga Graduate School of Law and a former board member of YATA Latvia. He has lived in Latvia for the past three years and works as a tour guide at the Latvian Occupation Museum, teaching others of Latvia’s contemporary history. With a strong interest in geopolitics, and international relations, he hopes to pursue a career in Latvia’s civil service.

The conversation will be moderated by Toms Rātfelders, a lecturer at Riga Stradiņš University and researcher at the Latvian Institute of International Affairs.
