教授 of Political Science and Director of the Clough Center for Constitutional Democracy at 电子游戏软件Democracy, 治理, 和教育
“This is an opportunity for an exceptional group of thinkers to focus on the major 政治 task of our generation: preserving democracy for the next generation. The challenge this working group addresses is global, and its members will bring international perspectives to bear on our central questions. I look forward to what our work will reveal about the most effective educational and formative experiences for maintaining resilient democratic systems.”

气候变化 and 迁移
“There may be no ethical challenge more immense than that wrought by our changing, and in some places now unlivable, 气候. 迁移 due to environmental degradation or extreme weather events is often forced on the world’s most vulnerable people, who are least responsible. Our Working Group brings together renowned experts from 电子游戏软件 and across the world to grapple with this profound challenge, and I look forward to the insights that will come in bridging the environmental and earth sciences, 道德, 人权, social work and law.”

M. 凯思琳Kaveny
Darald and Juliet Libby Millennium 教授 at 电子游戏软件 Theology Department and Law SchoolDemocracy, 治理, 和教育
“Recent Gallup polls show that Americans' approval of the U.S. Supreme Court is at an all-time low. Many people simply do not respect or trust the highest court in the land, which is the institutional embodiment of the rule of law in our democratic republic. As a law professor and ethicist, this phenomenon deeply concerns me. I am looking forward to exploring this and other problems with my colleagues in the working group on "Democracy, 治理, 和教育," under the able leadership of Jonathan Laurence.”

Democracy, 治理, 和教育
“I would like to see our future work as also being focused on asking what a redeemed politics might look like, and from this to give an account of what education, especially our different disciplines, can bring to the task of building a redeemed politics.”
