The Schemel Forum - Revitalizing Democracy
Tuesday, 19 September, 2023
Can we breathe new life into the institutions and norms that are critical elements of a stable democracy? Michele Moody-Adams will argue that we can revitalize democratic institutions and norms only if we acknowledge the complex sources of their decline and make a robust, public commitment to address them. The talk will draw on contributions from a wide range of political thinkers, including Aristotle, John Dewey, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John Oaul Lederach.
Michele Moody-Adams Ph.D., Joseph L. Straus Professor of Political Philosophy and Legal Theory at Columbia University.
