Hopkins at Home Webinar: Making Space for Democracy
Event Actions
Democracy requires more than institutions—it needs spaces where citizens can engage, deliberate, and shape their shared future. The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins draws its name from just such a space: the ancient Athenian agora, a central public gathering place in the city where Athenians learned both the rights and responsibilities of democracy, and where they developed capacities for participation in public life. Now the Institute has opened a building designed to realize the promise of the ancient agora in modern times. Learn more about their new building on the Baltimore Homewood campus, designed by world-renowned architecture firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). You’ll also hear from Johns Hopkins faculty about how they are creating modern agoras in their classrooms, communities, and around the globe.
This event is made possible through a partnership with Hopkins at Home, Johns Hopkins University’s online platform that brings the best of what Hopkins has to offer—from labs, libraries, and lecture halls—directly to your laptop.
