    Party Capture and Democratic Backsliding

    Democratic backsliding is typically explained by what aspiring autocrats do once in power: capture courts, weaponize law, and polarize electorates. This lecture traces the process further back, to its origin inside political parties: How do insurgent factions seize control of ruling parties before subverting democratic politics? What role do financial resources, party rules, and media control play in allowing a captured faction to consolidate power within the party before turning against democratic institutions?

    Performing Arts Series

    House of Waters is the confluence of multiple musical streams, with immersive studies in India, Senegal, Japan, the Americas, and beyond, all influencing their genre-defying performances. This Grammy-nominated trio is at the forefront of jazz innovation, featuring an original collaboration led by Chicago native Max ZT—the “Jimi Hendrix of the Hammered Dulcimer” (NPR)—and six-string bass master and virtuoso Moto Fukushima from Japan, with a drummer to be announced soon. You won’t want to miss what Béla Fleck calls “the most original band on the planet.”

    Performing Arts Series

    Since his U.S. debut in Middlebury in 2003, pianist Paul Lewis has become not only a Middlebury favorite, but internationally regarded as one of the leading musicians of his generation. In Middlebury, Lewis will perform a program from his Mozart+ series, juxtaposing Mozart’s lesser-known piano repertoire with works by composers such as Mendelssohn and Copland, illuminating Mozart’s influences over subsequent generations. Don’t miss this world-class finale to our 2026-2027 season.
