Video is now available from our second Election 2020 teach-in—Electoral Politics and Representative Governance—which took place on Friday, October 23, 2020. Speakers included Daniel Biss (former Illinois state senator and gubernatorial candidate), Amanda Jaret (United Food and Commercial Workers), Sammie Moshenberg (strategic grassroots and policy consultant) and Sandeep Vaheesan (Open Markets Institute).
Through a consideration of a range of institutional sites—political parties, the judiciary, corporations and unions—panelists discussed the ways in which these elections might open up or constrain representative possibilities.
The Election 2020 series is presented by 3CT and co-sponsored by the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, the Chicago Center on Democracy, and UChiVotes.
