SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rebuilding Democracy
DESCRIPTION:As the country heads into the 2026 midterm elections\, the University of Michigan welcomes journalist Osita Nwanevu\, contributing editor at The New Republic and columnist at The Guardian\, for a public conversation with Elizabeth Anderson\, the John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy.\n\nThe evening centers on Nwanevu's new book\, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding\, which argues that America's democratic troubles run deeper than any single election. The real problem\, Nwanevu contends\, lies in institutions that were never designed to let majorities govern\, and in an economy that keeps power far from ordinary people.\n\nAnderson\, one of the country's most influential political philosophers\, brings her own work on democracy\, equality\, and the workplace to the exchange. Together they take up the questions this election season keeps surfacing. Who really holds power in America? Why do so many people feel unheard\, and what would it take to build a democracy worthy of the name?\n\nThe conversation is free and open to students\, faculty\, and the broader Ann Arbor community\, with time for audience questions.\n\nSchedule\n\nFriday\, October 9\, 2026 at Ross School of Business\, Room TBD\n\n5:30 pm    Doors open\, light refreshments and Literati book sales in the lobby.\n6:00 pm    The program begins\, including questions and answers at the end. \n7:30 pm    Refreshments and book signing / sales in the lobby until 8:00 pm.\n\n\nSponsors and Partners\n\nU-M Department of Philosophy\; Energy Club at Ross\; Rackham Graduate School\; Poverty Solutions\; Business+Impact at Ross\; Wallace House\; Institute for the Humanities\; U-M Department of History\; U-M Department of English Language & Literature\; Ford School of Public Policy\; Center for Positive Organizations\; Center for Political Studies\; U-M Department of Political Science\; Michigan Law\; the Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics Program\; Science\, Technology & Society\; Science\, Technology & Public Policy at the Ford School\; the Erb Institute\; Net Impact\; and U-M Department of Sociology.
