ONLINE: Now What? Reflecting on the US Election and Democracy in the COVID Era

Tuesday, November 24, 2020
12 PM to 1 PM EST

For many Americans, 2020 has brought two all-consuming and intertwined sources of anxiety - the US presidential election and the COVID-19 pandemic. These concerns extend beyond the immediate aftermath of November 3 to the fate of democracy in the United States and around the world.

To better understand the implications of this tumultuous period in history, join us for an enlightening post-election discussion with Dawn Nakagawa and Professor Jennifer Welsh, two leading experts on global governance and democracy. As they examine the impact of both the pandemic and the election, they will share their expectations for the future of democratic institutions and the US's capacity for global leadership.

This event is hosted by the McGill Women, Leadership and Philanthropy Group of New York.
