The State of Democracy Panel

Join us for a post-Election Day reflection panel of Yale faculty and New Haven community members on November 9th. This event will take place from 5 to 6 pm at the AFAM House (211 Park Street) in collaboration with Yale Votes, Dwight Hall, the Yale Women's Leadership Initiative, and the Black Student Alliance at Yale. This event is open to the Yale and New Haven community.

Speakers include Emily Bazelon of the New York Times Magazine, Executive Director of Yale Law School's Law and Racial Justice Center Kayla Vinson, James Jeter of the Dwight Hall Civic Allyship Initiative, Dean of Saybrook College Ferentz Lafargue, New Haven cultural equity leader Adriane Jefferson, and Al Lucas from Legislative Services at the New Haven Board of Aldermen.

The intention of this panel is to help our community make sense of the political moment and climate we are living in, as a follow up to a similar panel held after the 2020 election. Rather than analyzing specific results, we hope this panel can be a meditation on the state of democracy and how we can continue to engage civically in meaningful ways after November 8th.
