Democracy in Crisis: Conversations with New Haven Scholars
This series of presentations and civic discussions invites a broad public of New Haven neighbors together to reflect upon the state of American democracy today—widening inequality, polarization, eroding norms, divisive media, and failing institutions in addition to centuries-long traditions of resilience, dissent, and idealism in the face of injustice and imperfection. What are the lessons of the past? And what solutions might the insights of different fields suggest? Light refreshments will be served.
