Deliberative Democracy and Local Self-Governance

Overview

Local self-governance enjoys a prominent place in the history of American liberalism, but what is its role going forward? The Institute for Humane Studies invites an interdisciplinary group of faculty, graduate students, and practitioners to consider how local self-governance and deliberative democracy could shape the future of liberalism in the United States and around the world. 

Join us online for presentations by Roger Berkowitz and Jen Murtazashvili, followed by breakout conversations where you can share your expertise and tackle pressing questions with other participants. This event takes place online on March 26, 2024, beginning with opening remarks at 3:30 PM Eastern Time and concluding with breakout discussions from 4:00 to 5:00 PM.

If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity. Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on local self-governance and deliberative democracy.
