The American Historical Association invites you to attend a Congressional Briefing offering historical perspectives on tariffs. The briefing will take place on Wednesday, June 11, at 9:00 a.m. ET in Rayburn House Office Building Room 2075.

Panelists Douglas A. Irwin (Dartmouth Coll.), Sharon Ann Murphy (Providence Coll.), and Eric Rauchway (Univ. of California, Davis) will discuss how the government has implemented tariffs in the past, and how they have impacted the domestic and global economies. The AHA’s Alexandra Levy will moderate.

The event is open to the public; no registration is required. A breakfast spread and coffee will be served. If you have any questions, please email brosenbaum@historians.org .

The AHA’s Congressional Briefings series seeks to provide Congressional staff members, journalists, and other members of the policy community with the historical context essential to understanding contemporary issues. The sessions are strictly nonpartisan and avoid advancing particular policy prescriptions or legislative agendas. Recordings of our recent briefings providing historical perspectives are available on the AHA’s website.
