Why has the US become a Democratic Laggard, and Can We Catch Up?

We have enjoyed Joan’s view on “political happenings” often.  Today, Joan discusses how Americans like to think of the US as the world’s leading democracy. But the reality is that the US lags behind the world’s other democracies in reforming or eliminating undemocratic institutions and practices! How did we go from democratic leader to democratic laggard?  AND, how can we catch up? 

PRESENTER: Dr. Joan Baluwkamp
DATE: Thursday, January 23
TIME: 1:00 pm
