Professor Valerie Evans, director of the Honor College Program, was recently interviewed by Johannes Langkilde, a U.S. correspondent for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) regarding women voting. DR is the national television station in Denmark, a public service broadcaster similar to the British Broadcasting Corporation in the UK.

“He [Johannes Langkilde] was very interested in women’s voting habits and women’s issues in general,” Evans said. “His producer reached out to me and sent Johannes and his cameraman all the way from D.C. to interview me based on the NPR story I was included in last spring, “All the Single Ladies: 5 Takeaways about Unmarried Female Voters.”

Evans continued, “The interview took place at a debate watch party hosted by ActionNC and Women Voting Our Values. We conducted a pre-interview before the debate and then we discussed my impressions of the debate and what I felt were the key issues discussed that would be of particular interest to female voters.”

According to Evans, also at the party was a Japanese news crew from Nippon Hoso Kyoki. “Their correspondent, Mami Machizuki was interested in discussing the same types of issues that the Danish crew was there for,” Evans said.

Way to go Professor Evans!
