Join Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels and SNF Agora faculty member Liliana Mason for a discussion of President Daniels’ recent book, What Universities Owe Democracy, which examines the role higher education can play in helping to restore American democracy in this moment of deep peril. In this in-depth conversation—originally broadcast as part of SNF Agora’s regular programming—SNF Agora faculty member Lilliana Mason, a political scientist whose research explores partisan identity and bias, social sorting, and American polarization joins President Daniels to explore how universities foster social mobility, civic development, evidence-based knowledge, and pluralism; where they have sometimes failed; and how they can move forward.
