SNF Dialogues & SNF Agora joint event: The Roles of Universities in Modern Democracy

Homewood campus, Shriver Hall

History is marked by constant change, and so is the history of global democracy. While some governing institutions and leaders have not always embraced democratic values, universities have endured as places of free expression and idea exchange. Despite their strengths, universities face challenges in today’s divisive climate. How can they continue to promote and safeguard democratic values?

The SNF Dialogues, in collaboration with the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, bring this discussion to the university campus, engaging experts and students alike. This event, as part of an SNF Dialogues series on civic engagement and civil discourse in the US, will take place on November 12 at the Johns Hopkins University Campus, in Baltimore, MD, USA.
