Public Opinion on Democracy and Democratic Decline

What do the public’s attitudes and opinions tell us about the state of democracy around the world? How are democratic institutions supported or undermined by shifts in public opinion?

Nicholas Kerr (University of Florida) and Vera Messing (Hun-REN Centre for Social Research and Visiting Scholar at the Korbel School) share insights from their studies in Africa and Europe respectively to shed light on timely topics such as anti-immigrant sentiment, public trust in elections, and the social roots of political polarization.

This event is open to all and will end with a Q&A with the speakers.
