This event is presented by Hopkins at Home and the SNF Agora Institute.
One week after the U.S. presidential election, SNF Agora Institute and Hopkins@Home invite Johns Hopkins students, faculty, staff, and alumni to join a conversation with JHU experts about what happened in the election and why, and how our community and our country might move forward together to realize the promise of democracy.
The event will will consist of two 30-minute moderated webcast panels examining different implications of the election, followed by a 30-minute “face-to-face” Q&A session, in which audience members will be invited to engage directly with our panel experts via Zoom.
