Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the 2024 US election with SBS faculty focused on what happened and where we go from here. In this conversation, with ample opportunity for audience members to share their thoughts and ask questions, we will center curiosity and listening. We hope to have a community conversation that allows genuine engagement across difference and seeks understanding, rooted in a commitment to the humanity of those with whom we disagree.

Democracy in the United States is an ongoing project, with a long history, and we are part of this project and history-in-the-making. Some of us are hopeful, some of us are alarmed, and some of us may be both. Wherever you land on the political spectrum, we welcome you to the conversation.

Dr. Dean Robinson (Chair Political Science) is the moderator. Panelists are Dr. Amel Ahmed (Political Science and Director, Democracy in Troubled Times), Dr. Cedric de Leon (Sociology and Labor Studies), and Dr. Alex Theodoridis (Political Science, UMass Poll).
