About Our Events
Featured programming and events at the Center for the Political Future include our Political Conversations series, debate watches, and panel discussions.
Political Conversations
The Center invites notable politicians, political operatives, and policy experts to campus for discussions with Center Director Bob Shrum or Co-Director Mike Murphy. The Political Conversations series has featured Donna Brazile, former Chair of the Democratic National Committee (pictured below), as well as Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Director of Communications; Joe Kennedy III, former U.S. Representative (D-MA), and many others. This series is in partnership with the USC Dornsife Political Science / International Relations (POIR) Department.
