Millions of Americans have watched or listened to the testimony and videos by the House of Representatives panel investigating the deadly attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. To discuss how the hearings have been going and whether or not they’ll make a difference in American politics, we were joined by a professor of criminology and criminal justice and an associate professor of political science and African American Studies.
Guests:
Christopher Mullins
Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice

Alvin Tillery
Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at Northwestern University
