Jimmy Carter Professor and History Department Chair Joseph Crespino spoke with a group of distinguished scholars in an American Historical Association webinar titled “The Crisis of Democracy” on November 18 at 3pm EST. Panelists included Crespino, Jerry Dávila (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Jennifer Evans (Carleton University), and Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom (University of California, Irvine). The four scholars of social movements, protest, and political culture examined the perceived “crisis of democracy” and the extension of authoritarianism from comparative and historical standpoints. The colloquium was chaired by Janet Ward (University of Oklahoma).
