Hosted by the University\u2019s Honors Program, the 61st edition of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s premier lecture series, \u201cDemocracy in Peril\u201d<\/a> has examined the challenges democracy faces while many students at the University, and elsewhere, are voting for the first time this fall. Organizers say they have hoped to call attention to the perilous status of democracy worldwide, raising awareness of the challenges it faces and offering ways for citizens to help strengthen democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe premise of this year\u2019s colloquium is simple but urgent,\u201d says Ashlea Rundlett<\/a> of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s political science department. \u201cDemocracy is under threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s colloquium series examines threats to democracy at home and abroad. Davenport\u2019s talk comes one week after the U.S. presidential election, though colloquium coordinators have noted that this fall\u2019s lecture series is not only about the 2024 presidential race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davenport will speak at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Edwards Hall on the Kingston Campus. His address will also be streamed<\/a> (livestream links will be available the night of each event on the colloquium website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s colloquium has drawn wide interest across the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus, including a visit from former U.S. congressmen James Langevin and Adam Kinzinger, talks by Vox\u2019s Zack Beauchamp, author Daniel Ziblatt, climate influencer Naomi Oreskes and others. A campus art exhibit on \u2018The Politics of Personality\u2019<\/a> will remain on display through Dec. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This year\u2019s Honors Colloquium has demonstrated once again the political science department\u2019s emphasis on engaging 溏心vlog免费B站 students in important conversations that are relevant to their lives,\u201d says Jeannette Riley, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. \u201cIt\u2019s been a vibrant learning experience for the entire 溏心vlog免费B站 community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honors Colloquium will return in September 2025 examining Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
