On Monday, October 13 at 12:00 PM, in Posvar 3800, the Center for Governance and Markets will host a screening of Swing State(s) of Mind, a documentary that follows the journey of Kobby Barda across five swing states in the month before the 2024 presidential election, including Pittsburgh. The film documents his encounters with diverse experts and citizens, including a discussion with Pitt Political Science Professor Kris Kanthak.
Dr. Barda is a lecturer at the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT), specializing in American political history, grassroots movements, and U.S.–Israel relations. His forthcoming book, The Liberty Way (Anthem Press, 2025), examines evangelical mobilization and its impact on U.S. policy.
