The study of history reveals that no political system is permanent. What factors undermine democracy? Drawing on his research on ancient and modern political philosophy, Scott J. Hammond, Professor Political Science at JMU, will address these concerns as they relate to American politics. Is American democracy more vulnerable today than in the past? What elements in American society destabilize democratic institutions, and how can we protect self-government? Dr. Hammond’s presentation will be followed by an open discussion in which audience members from all political viewpoints are encouraged to participate.
