Office Hours features interviews with Northwestern professors about current events.

This week, we sat down with Prof. Al Tillery, an associate chair of the Political Science Department who specializes in American politics, particularly how it interacts with media and public opinion. Tillery broke down the 2016 presidential election for us, explaining how demographics, Obama’s legacy and the Electoral College made the 2016 electoral season more surprising than most.
