Democracy and Justice
Democracy and Justice are ideals that are both fundamental to our society and deeply interrelated. The 2023 Symposium on Democracy explored the connections between these ideals and the challenges we face as a community in realizing them through open conversations, round table discussions, talks, workshops, and other activities which bring us together in engaged, collaborative civil discourse.
