Ben Talks Palo Alto: Discourse and Democracy

The last year has caused many Americans to reassess the vulnerabilities and strengths of democracy in the United States.

Join Penn Arts & Sciences faculty Beth Wenger, Jeffrey Green, and Donovan Schaefer for a wide-ranging and nuanced look at U.S. democracy, past and present; the forces and emotional undercurrents that are driving our discourse; and the state of citizenship today.  

A dinner reception and warm conversation with fellow alums open the evening, followed by our faculty panel and post-reception dessert.

Donovan Schaefer, Associate Professor of Religious Studies
