Allens lecture is the 31st Annual Hesburgh Lecture in Ethics and Public Policy. Featuring: Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor, Harvard University; Director, Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, Harvard Kennedy School Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation How do we repair our fractured democracy? Danielle Allen believes the path to health lies through re-building a supermajority of people—of all political ideologies—ready to work together to support constitutional democracy. In a time of increased polarization and weakening trust, it might seem impossible to create such a supermajority, but Allen will show us where and how we can build this supermajority, and why it is important.$
