If we took democracy seriously, what would that mean for thinking about questions such as ecology, constitutionalism, the rule of law, political economy, and social trust?

Please join usfor a talk by Jedediah Purdy, the Raphael Lemkin Professor of Law at Duke Law School (formerly the William S. Beinecke Professor at Columbia) and the author of seven books on these themes, most recently Two Cheers for Politics: Why Democracy is Flawed, Frightening — and Our Best Hope (Basic Books 2022). He is working on a book on democratic trust.

David Singh Grewal, Professor of Law at Berkeley Law, will moderate.

Presented by the Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative (BESI) and Social Science Matrix.
