It's election day in America, so I sat down to have a conversation with Political Economy graduate student, Evan Eskilson. We discussed the challenges of finding our place in an overwhelming political landscape, the tools of partisan hegemony, and how to combat apathy towards a flawed democracy. This episode was a great way to initiate a dialogue with our audience that will extend beyond each episode. Enjoy!
