SSRC Presents — Anxieties of Democracy: Why Is America So Polarized? (Full)

In the first of a series of events at Roosevelt House, the Social Science Research Council presents a discussion on the current anxieties of democracy. The SSRC has convened an initiative of experts on this subject to explore how representative democracy can be strengthened at a time when there is great concern about whether the country’s core institutions – elections, political parties, legislatures, interest groups, social movements, and mass media – are capable of addressing the great questions of our time.
