South Asians and Elections 2008
A Pre-Election Online Conversation for Community Members & Media (October 30, 2008)

Join SAALT and our special guests below on October 30th.

Join Us for a Pre-Elections Webinar on October 30th

What: A Pre-Elections Webinar (a conference call with an online segment; anyone can participate)

When: Thursday, October 30th at 2pm EST/1pm CST/11am PST (the webinar should last an hour and 15 minutes)

Why: South Asian political involvement has been on the rise over the past decade, and the run-up to the November 2008 elections shows that South Asians have been increasingly engaged in the presidential campaigns, voter mobilization efforts, and bids for state and national office.

What could South Asian voter turnout look like? What does South Asian involvement in the 2008 elections signify in terms of the community's political maturity?

We will be joined by special guests who will provide observations on South Asian political involvement.

Who: South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), with guests:

Vijay Prashad, Professor of International Studies at Trinity College; author of The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World
Karthick Ramakrishnan, Associate Professor of Political Science at UC Riverside; principal investigator on the first large-scale national survey of Asian American politics (2008)
