Ep. 1 – Is Kamala Harris the glass cliff candidate in the 2024 U.S. election? with Marissa Conway | The Gender Diplomat
Description
In the very first episode of The Diplomat's Cabinet podcast (née as The Gender Diplomat), host Maria Luísa Moreira explores the phenomenon of the "glass cliff" with special guest Marissa Conway, a feminist activist and expert in foreign policy. As Kamala Harris steps into the U.S. presidential race under unique and challenging circumstances, we discuss whether her candidacy represents a historic opportunity or a precarious setup for failure. Listen to unpack the gendered and racial expectations placed on Harris, explore the implications of systemic bias, and consider how American voters might respond to a potential first female, biracial president.
