Democracy and Politics 2022:
How We Got Here, Where We’re Heading, and Reasons for Optimism – clip

Wendy Schiller / Brown University

In this class, Professor Schiller presents a comprehensive view of American politics, and the state of democracy around the globe.  From local school boards to state governments, to the White House, 2022 will prove to be a significant turning point in where our nation is headed.  From all vantage points, it seems that the pillars of democracy, including freedom of speech, worship, press, and assembly are under attack and this class asks what it will take to safeguard them in a world that is changing at lightning speed.
