[Poscgrad] [Poscfaculty] Yesterday's election and going forward

[Kim Yi Dionne]

Dear colleagues,

One idea we are considering is hosting a community-oriented panel to share
insights from political science research on democratic backsliding and
resilience. This panel would draw on comparative experiences (historically
in the US and contemporary cases from elsewhere in the world) and explore
how these experiences align with or differ from current U.S. challenges.

If you have an interest in contributing in some way to this idea or have
other ideas for these efforts, please let me know.

Warmly,
Kim
