Is Civility a Sham? Speech and the Limits of Tolerance
- Sponsored by:
- Political Science
A lecture and Q & A with Teresa Bejan, University of Oxford
Politicians and intellectuals today warn that we face a crisis of civility, with partisan hatreds and wars of words polluting our public sphere. In liberal democracies committed to tolerating diversity as well as active, often heated disagreement, the loss of this conversational virtue appears critical. But is civility really a virtue? Or is it, as critics claim, a covert demand for conformity that silences dissent?

“Batteries and the Matter of a Clean Energy Future” by Jay Turner, Associate Professor, Environmental Studies Program, Wellesley College.
Scaling up a clean energy future is going to require more than just solar panels and wind turbines. It will also require batteries. How can considering the environmental history of batteries in the 20th century help us think more carefully about the role of batteries in a more sustainable and just 21st century? Cosponsored by the departments of History and Political Science.

Gender and the Mainstreaming of Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe
- Sponsored by:
- Political Science
A talk by Kimberly Morgan, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, George Washington University
For many years, right-wing politics in Europe was characterized by a gender gap — right-wing parties, their voters, and their leaders tended to be disproportionately male. That is no longer the case, as women are increasingly present as party leaders and/or voters. In this talk, I will discuss these developments, some of the forces driving this change, and implications for the study of gender and politics.
