Join us for an insightful online research talk with Yascha Mounk, PhD, one of the world’s leading experts on the rise of populism and the threats to liberal democracy. Dr. Mounk, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, author, and public intellectual, will discuss his latest research on the current state of democracy, how identity politics and populism are reshaping political landscapes, and what can be done to safeguard democratic institutions in an age of polarization.

In his latest book, The Identity Trap, Mounk delves into the dynamics of identity-based politics, addressing its impacts on political discourse, civic engagement, and social cohesion. His work offers critical insights into the ways democratic systems can be reformed and revitalized amidst global challenges.

This is an especially timely talk, coinciding with the outcome of the American Presidential elections.
