IHC LIVING DEMOCRACY: FROM THE EMBERS OF CRISIS: CREATING EQUITABLE AND DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2020 / 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - ONLINE

Presented by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.

At a moment when American Democracy was characterized by record levels of political division, inequality, and institutional distrust, it was hit by the perfect storm of the COVID-19 health crisis, an economic crisis of soaring unemployment and economic dislocation, and a civic crisis of reckoning with deep racism and police abuse. What would it take to create from the embers of these crises a deeper, more egalitarian and deliberative democracy in America? This talk is lead by Archon Fung, the Winthrop Laflin McCormack Professor of Citizenship and Self-Government at the Harvard Kennedy School. Q&A to follow. ASL and Spanish interpretation provided.
