March 24 @ 5 PM: Fulbright Chair in Quebec Studies Lecture, Krinovitz Hall

[Liza Bedard]

Hello/Bonjour:



Please join us *in-person* for the “Distinguished Fulbright Chair in Québec
Studies Lecture,” featuring Dr. Jean-François Godbout, Professor of
Political Science visiting from the Université de Montréal as the Spring
2022 SUNY Plattsburgh Distinguished Fulbright Chair in Québec Studies.



TALK TITLE: “Stability and Change in the 2022 Québec Election” by Dr.
Jean-François Godbout

DATE/TIME: Thursday, March 24 at 5:00 pm

LOCATION: Krinovitz Hall inside Hawkins Hall, SUNY Plattsburgh



DESCRIPTION: Québec is currently experiencing a significant political
transformation. The most striking example of this change is related to the
decline in the relevance of sovereignty, an issue that has dominated
Québec politics
for the last fifty years. The traditional opposition between sovereigntists
and federalists has been undermined by the emergence of a new kind of
political debate centered around the management of ethno-cultural diversity
and the level of government intervention in the economy. The prevalence of
these conflicts is having a profound impact on the structure of the party
system. There are now four parties represented in the National Assembly of
Québec, each one having a distinct set of positions on the questions of
sovereignty, pluralism, and economic redistribution. By presenting the
results of an original analysis of three public opinion surveys conducted
during the 2012-2014-2018 Québec elections, this presentation will explain
how each of these issues has changed voting behavior over time. With the
help of social identity and intergroup threat theories, the presentation
will also explain why the conflict over pluralism is becoming dominant
in Québec
politics today. The presentation will end with a discussion of the upcoming
October 3rd, 2022 election.



NOTE: As a reception will take place immediately after the discussion
concludes, your kind RSVP in advance to help us confirm catering needs
would be appreciated.
