Political Reforms to Combat Extremism

Wednesday, 06 March, 2024

The political culture in the United States has become toxic and tribalistic in recent years. Among other consequences, the political process has become dysfunctional, with Congress rarely able to legislate on significant issues of the day. This talk will address institutional and policy reforms to the political and election process that could help push back against polarization and extremism. The talk will also address threats to the integrity of the 2024 election and what is being done to address those threats.

Richard Pildes, Sudler Family Professor of Constitutional Law, one of the nation's leading scholars of constitutional law and a specialist in legal issues concerning democracy, former law clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall, and an appointee on President Biden's Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Brennan Hall, Rose Room, 509 • 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Prof Pildes will be joining us via Zoom. Attendees can attend via Zoom for $10 or in person with a lunch for $30. Only in-person attendees will be able to participate in the question-and-answer portion of the seminar.
