The Institute for Humane Studies invites faculty, graduate students, and practitioners to join an online discussion of populism and threats to democracy. Many associate the rise of populism on the left and the right with authoritarianism and threats to democracy.

But what do we know about the conceptual and empirical links between populism and threats to democracy, and what questions still need to be answered? How can academics and practitioners collaborate with each other to inform responses to populism in the realms of policy and civil society?

Presentations by Dr. John Carey and an additional speaker will be followed by breakout discussions where participants can ask questions and network with each other. The session takes place over Zoom from 12:00 to 1:30 PM ET on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research, public-facing work, or applied contributions on populism and threats to democracy. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity
