Details

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet on September 10 for what may be their only debate before the November election. The next day, pundits will weigh in on how each candidate fared, but what matters more is what this debate accomplishes for voters. Will those who watch it be better informed? Will it enable them to meaningfully assess the differences between the candidates and make better choices? Join SNF Agora Professor of Sociology Andrew Perrin and SNF Agora Visiting Fellow Leila Brammer, Director of Outreach and Instructional Development for the Parrhesia Program for Public Discourse at the University of Chicago, for a post-debate analysis that goes beyond the hot takes and reveals the true stakes of debate.

Food Provided (Insomnia cookies and boba tea will be provided. Registration is required.)
