It went well, I got some laffs, which is what it’s all about. One person asked a bunch of good questions about asymmetries between the Democrats and Republicans. I thought I gave some good answers but she appeared to be dissatisified. It was also fun because I got to meet a bunch of their PhD students beforehand. We had a fascinating conversation, almost all of which I’ve forgotten, unfortunately. I have to remember to take notes; my memory is not what it once was.

Here are the slides. Almost no overlap with my red state, blue state talk (which I’d given elsewhere at Harvard in the fall). At some point I’ll put up a post discussing the arguments and open questions in some detail.
