“Why is U.S. Democracy in Crisis?: How We Got Here, Why We’re Vulnerable and What We Can Do About It”
The Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University’s Pell Center is testing a new national narrative that reflects who we are as a people and furthers liberal democratic and civic nationalist ideas. The lab just completed a national poll to gauge how Americans define the country around the civic ideals, ancestry, heritage, history or character. Colin Woodard will share the results and explain how they create a new narrative based on what most Americans hold valuable. Woodard is a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and POLITICO contributing editor. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Smithsonian and dozens of other major publications.
