TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION

My election day 24 hours: early train to London; live on CNN Radio Atlanta; to Parliament to judge A-level student video competition about the US presidency for the Political Studies Association; back to Manchester with family and colleagues glued to the telly most of the night (bubbly?); quick nap; collecting snacks for “Celebrating the End!”. Lunchtime gathering for my American politics students; breakfast and the morning school run; and then teaching at 9am.
Ideally, we will celebrate the election of the first woman president of the United States. But this election has been anything but ideal. So on 9 November, my students, as UK observers, will celebrate the end of a brutal electoral drama.
When Americans wake with the hate hangover from hell, they will have little to celebrate. The home of democracy, trashed by animosity and polarisation, stands in need of careful, attentive renovation. Sounds like a job for a woman.
