Professor Anand Authors Chapter on Obama's Presidency, Teaches in Summer Program at Princeton

Ruchi Anand was invited to write a chapter about the French perspective on Barack Obama’s presidency, to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in a collective book edited by Matthias Maas, gathering various world views on the topic.

This is a sequel to The World Views of the US Presidential Elections 2008, Ed. Matthias Maas, Palgrave Macmillan, 2009, where Anand had authored a chapter entitled “Oh La La: Obamania à la Française”, giving the French perception of Obama’s historic election and early days in power. So this new chapter will give a follow up eight years later, as Obama’s presidency is coming to a close.

Dr. Anand will also be active on the teaching front this summer, as she will be a teaching at Princeton University in the JSA (Junior Statesmen Association) program. She has been teaching for the JSA since 2002 at Georgetown, Stanford and Princeton.

This specialized summer program, which has been in existence for 80 years, is specifically designed for outstanding high-school students who are interested in politics, international relations and economics. It includes college-level courses and mock congress debates.
