Courageous Conversations in Ethics: What’s So Good About Democracy?

Join us this Fall for a panel discussion in our “Courageous Conversation in Ethics” series, “What’s So Good About Democracy?” Featuring Professor John Park (Philosophy, UC Sacramento) and Professor Smita Rahman (Political Science, DePauw).

Given the current political climate, we’ve been hearing a lot about democracy. But what is democracy? And what’s so good about it anyway? Explore these questions and more in a moderated discussion on October 22, 7:00 PM in Peeler Auditorium with DePauw alum and philosopher, John Park, and with DePauw political science professor and political theorist, Smita Rahman. The event will also be available via Live Stream.

This moderated discussion, “What’s So Good About Democracy?”, is part of the Prindle Institute’s Courageous Conversations in Ethics series. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to attend. We encourage attendees to bring questions, as there will be an extended Q&A session with the guests following the discussion.

Courageous Conversations in Ethics is aimed at examining challenging moral issues from a variety of perspectives. These are not debates in the traditional sense, but rather an opportunity for people with different perspectives on the same issue to meet for productive dialogue.
