When Democracy Dies, What Happens Next?

Feb 14th from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Description:

It has become increasingly clear that America’s version of democracy is under severe threat and may not survive. This talk will discuss how serious that threat is and, after concluding that the dangers are all too real, asks what a post-democratic America would look like — including asking whether and how democracy could be restored, and how quickly.
