Join us for an engaging lecture with Yascha Mounk, renowned scholar and public intellectual on the crisis of democracy and the defense of liberal values. A professor at Johns Hopkins University, founder of Persuasion, and host of The Good Fight podcast, Mounk is the author of five influential books, including The People vs. Democracy, The Great Experiment, and The Identity Trap.


The conversation will be guided by guest interviewers Jeff Snyder (Carleton College) and Ahoo Najafian (Macalester College).


Drawing on his extensive research and writing, Mounk will explore the challenges and possibilities facing diverse democracies today—and how open discourse can help societies remain both free and cohesive.


This event is sponsored by the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership and is free and open to the public.
