Our faculty offer several courses at the undergraduate and graduate level that relate to the lab’s central research themes. The lab is also a member of the Democratic Erosion Consortium, a nonpartisan collaboration of faculty from 90 universities committing to teaching about democracy. 

 

POLS TBD: Contemporary Challenges of Democracy: This undergraduate seminar presents a critical assessment of the global state of democracy and introduces students to the challenge of democratic backsliding. During the course students examine factors such as populism, polarization, economic inequality, disinformation, and strategies of democratic resistance and renewal.
