Continuing Studies: Reimagining Democracy

Continuing Studies is pleased to offer “Reimagining Democracy,” a seven-week faculty speaker series in collaboration with the Stanford Democracy Hub and Office of Community Engagement. The series, hosted by Dean Debra Satz and Professor Larry Diamond, will feature Stanford scholars addressing challenges for democratic societies. Weekly conversations will delve into topics such as revitalizing American institutions, addressing race, polarization, inequality, and migration, as well as exploring the biggest threats to democracy and ways in which democratic norms and culture are passed down from generation to generation. This series serves as a complement to election-related Continuing Studies courses and other educational activities around voting and civic participation being offered this fall.
