We the People: Populism and Progress

Thursday, April 6, 2017

Session Description

In both the US and UK last year, voters voiced anxiety over demographic and economic shifts. Campaigns against the status quo on both the left and the right swept some of the world’s most prosperous nations, calling into question the strength of the social fabric that binds them. We’ll dive into the historical context, the economic drivers, and consider where governments have blind spots when it comes to the needs of certain groups. We’ll ask how we might constructively address the politics of “the elite” vs. “the ignored” and start working together toward a system that works for us all.
