Spring 2021 Munk Dialogues on the Fate and Future of Democracy
2021-06-29 17:00 | Online event
Spring 2021 Munk Dialogues is on the fate and future of democracy. The dialogues include in-depth, online conversations with some of the world’s brightest thinkers. From Monk Debates:
It’s become a truism to say the pandemic has accelerated everything. From technology to geopolitics to the economy, COVID-19 has fast-forwarded us into a confusing and uncertain future. Nowhere are these accelerating forces more evident than in our democracy. Our democratic institutions and values are being shaken by rising authoritarianism, a reckoning on race, and intense debates on the role of the state in society, identity politics and free speech. The Spring Munk Dialogues explore the fate and future of democracy in a world remade by COVID-19.
SPEAKERS & DATES
Jonathan Haidt is one of the world’s most fascinating and provocative social psychologists. A professor at the NYU’s Stern School of Business, he is the author of series of internationally bestselling books on psychology and politics.

Douglas Murray is the author of the global bestseller The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity,and associate editor of The Spectator. He joins the Munk Dialogues on May 20 @ 5 PM ET for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of free speech and liberal institutions in the shadow of COVID-19.
Nesrine Malik is a Guardian columnist and author of We Need New Stories: The Myths that Subvert Freedom. Her June 3 @ 5 PM PT Munk Dialogue challenges conventional thinking behind the debates animating democracies, from the myth of gender equality to political correctness to “damaging” identity politics.
Timothy Snyder is arguably the most compelling historian today, writing on the roots of contemporary authoritarianism and its threat to liberal democracy. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, On Tyranny. He joins the Munk Dialogues on June 17 @ 5 PM PT to explore the unique danger 21st century authoritarianism presents to the liberal world.
Irshad Manji is a bestselling author, commentator and founder of the award-winning Moral Courage Project. Her Munk Dialogue on June 29 @ 5PM PT will cap off the series with a search for solutions. How do we find common ground in our polarized society? What attitudes help us open up to different points of view? Irshad shares her prescription for democratic renewal.
