Congress to Campus

Congress to Campus, part of of Explore, is run in partnership with The British Library. Want to know about the struggles of an American election campaign and fund-raising? Find out from the people who’ve been there: former US Congresspeople. Ask about the difficulties of an increasingly divided politics, about how legislation actually gets passed, as well as how people from different parties can work together and what actually goes on behind the scenes in Congress.

Working with The Arthur Miller Institute for American Studies, UEA’s Department of American Studies and the British Library, your students will have a chance to hear from former Members of Congress as they reflect on their time in government and answer questions. You can expect students to get lots of insight into the real world of politics that can be used in their coursework and exams, particularly for American and comparative politics requirements.

Bookings will open in September 2025. If you like, you can fill in the Expression of Interest form below and we’ll email you when bookings open.
