At a Moment of Volatility and Uncertainty, a Leading Voice Provides Context 

 
Gary Gerstle, Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus at Cambridge University spent ten years teaching American history to University students from throughout the world.     

On Wednesday, May 21 in Boston, Professor Gerstle was teaching a different audience about America when he sat down with Cambridge in America board member Robert Shapiro (Trinity 1972) for a wide-ranging discussion of the state of the American democratic experiment past, present, and future. The talk, entitled “Power and Chaos: Decoding Trump” drew a robust crowd of Cantabrigians for a chance to connect with fellow alumni and friends and to hear from a leading voice on modern American history.  

The conversation placed into context US economic and social policy over decades, from the New Deal to the present and the, at times, chaotic policy decisions that have defined the first months of the second Trump administration.
