Democratic Spaces Series: Dissent and Disagreement

Join the SNF Agora Institute for a discussion on the importance of fostering spaces for free speech as a means to advance democracy and defend against authoritarianism. The conversation will consider how we can promote free speech—including spirited dissent and disagreement—in ways that recognize and respect each other’s humanity and ensure that all voices can be heard.

This event is part of SNF Agora’s Democratic Spaces, a series of discussions that consider how we can cultivate spaces—real and virtual—that enable robust participation in democracy. A healthy democracy requires that all of us—no matter our identities, affiliations, beliefs, or creeds—play a role as members in civil society. In this series we’ll be exploring how we can build the spaces that invite all voices, especially of those who currently face barriers, into those conversations.
