<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colloquium coordinators say this year\u2019s lecture series is not only about the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe premise of this year\u2019s colloquium is simple but urgent,\u201d says assistant professor of political science professor Ashlea Rundlett<\/a>. \u201cDemocracy is under threat and it is worth defending. Our discussions are driven by the dramatic decline of democratic norms, a trend we\u2019ve observed in Europe, in Asia, in the Americas and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks will speak at 7 p.m. at Edwards Hall on the Kingston Campus. Her talk will also be streamed<\/a> (livestream links will be available the night of each event on the colloquium website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colloquium will continue Oct. 29 with scientist and historian Naomi Oreskes discussing \u201cWhy Disinformation Matters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s colloquium has drawn wide interest across the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus, with several complementary events, from a program for faculty on Democracy in the Classroom<\/a> to a campus art exhibit on \u2018The Politics of Personality\u2019 <\/a>and a humanities talk by Pulitzer Prize finalist Alex Keyssar on \u201cDemocratic Crises and Structural Change\u201d<\/a> on Oct. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
