On March 21-22, the Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy at Boston College will host our Spring Symposium, the major event of our program year. Focused on this year’s theme, Envisioning Democratic Futures, and featuring US Diplomat Brett McGurk and and Philip H. Gordon, National Security Advisor to the Vice President (2021-2025), the Symposium’s panels will grapple with an array of diverse – and timely – topics, including:

• global trends in liberal democracy;
• the impact of migration and refugees on democratic politics;
• descriptive representation and democratic futures;
• AI and democracy; and
• religious nationalism, minorities, and democracy.

This exciting event is open to the public. We encourage you to register as soon as it becomes available.
