Stanford faculty, students, and staff are welcome to join the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) for "U.S. Midterm Elections and Global Implications in 2026," an examination of how the midterm election results are reverberating across the world.

FSI Director Colin Kahl will moderate a panel of leading institute scholars as they analyze the domestic and international impact of the 2026 midterms. The discussion will feature Jim Goldgeier on international perceptions of the election; Didi Kuo on domestic political rivalries; and Nate Persily on the integrity of electoral institutions.

Don't miss this timely conversation on American democracy and its global consequences as we assess what the midterm results mean for U.S. leadership and international order.

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served following the panel discussion.
