WASHINGTON, PA (January 17, 2024) – 华盛顿 & 杰佛逊学院&J) has announced that 罗莎·克莱门特 and Dr. 大卫·西格尔 will serve as the keynote speakers for the 2024 Symposium on Democracy Wednesday, Feb. 21.
Each will offer an address during a lunchtime keynote session titled “Agency for the Common Good: How Individuals, Social Movements and Institutions Can Positively Influence Democracy.”
“This year’s keynote speakers are exceptional leaders in their respective fields (politics and academia) who share an inspiring conviction in the power of our political agency as citizens in a democracy,” said Dr. 大卫的节日, director of the 道德领导中心 and chair of the Symposium on Democracy’s planning committee. “I am excited to hear their perspectives on how each of us can use this power to make our society a more free, just, 宁静快乐的地方.”
Clemente’s speech will share the history of the social justice movements of the past 50 years and reflect on her experiences as someone deeply engaged in political life and the pursuit of justice in America.
She will focus on how we can effectively work together for common goals by moving past social media moments and viral hashtags to decentralized movements capable of driving substantial social change.
Dr. Siegel’s address will highlight the tactics and strategies of social and political movements, such as the organized resistance and direct action of the civil rights movement, that can help defend academic freedom when political attacks have deeply compromised such freedom.
This year’s Symposium theme is “Stepping Up: Being an Informed, Involved and Impactful Citizen.” A complete schedule of events and registration information will be available later this month.
The Symposium on Democracy is fully funded by the generous support of the Guy Woodward, Jr. 基金会.
