IOP Pritzker Fellow Ken Buck on "Defining Threats to Democracy"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Monday, October 7

12:30-1:45pm

During Congressman Buck’s time in the House, Democrats and Republicans both made claims that the opposing party was threatening our nation’s democracy. Both sides often misused the term, but both also ran afoul of our founders’ vision in profound ways. In this seminar, he will explore how politicians and others use this phrase to shamelessly appeal to emotion. He will share what he saw in the Capitol on January 6th and the political theatre that occurred in the aftermath.

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
