History Behind the Headlines: Government Shutdowns and the Federal Budget
Thursday, October 16, 1:30 p.m. ET
Threats of a US government shutdown have become a staple of the federal budget process during the past few decades. Join moderator Kathryn Cramer Brownell (Purdue Univ.) and panelists Lily Geismer (Claremont McKenna Coll.), John Lawrence (Univ. of California Washington Center), and Jeremi Suri (Univ. of Texas at Austin) for a discussion of the history of federal appropriations, why shutdowns have become so common, and their broader historical implications.
The event is free to attend and open to all; registration is required. The webinar will be recorded and made available on our YouTube channel after the event. Events in the History Behind the Headlines series are generously sponsored by AHA member Jared Brubaker.
