A Constitution Day Discussion: What Does Democracy Mean To You?

Many argue that American democracy is at a crossroads. If true, it is important to collectively discuss what democracy means to us all and how we can build a stronger and more inclusive democratic society. The Democracy Commitment at MCC and the Department of Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology are happy to bring you A Constitution Day Discussion: What Does Democracy Mean to You?

Join professors Christina Lee (Anthropology), Njeru Murage (History), Nayda Pares-Kane (Sociology), and Joe Scanlon (Political Science) for an interactive discussion about the meaning of Democracy in American society and politics.

This includes a discussion of the historical, philosophical, social, and political features of American democracy. This is an interactive opportunity to learn about the features of American democracy and share your expectations for American Democracy. This event is free and open to the public.
