Schemel Forum World Affairs Luncheon Lecture
Democracy Dies in Darkness
Professor Matynia points out that the performative dimension of democracy- being and acting like a citizen- is a local project trying to free itself from dogmatism and vertical power pressures. Whether in the Athenian agora or in Scranton's Court House Square, people gather to discuss issues of mutual interest and seek solutions.
Elzbieta Matynia, Ph.D, Professor of Sociology and Liberal Studies and Director of the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies at the New School for Social Research
