EVENT DESCRIPTION: There is plenty of doubt about American democracy: whether it will survive, whether it can overcome our problems if it does, and whether it deserves to be called a democracy (or even to survive) in the first place. Too often, these urgent questions come at us as fast as the news cycle, and our responses, like a Twitter feed, reinforce what we already thought, amplified with fight-or-flight adrenaline. But if we slow down and think through some possible futures for the country, we can see more clearly what democracy means, and how law, politics, and culture can interact to uphold democracy or to erode it. Watch the recording.
