About the event
Research centers provide The American University of Paris with vital academic hubs to promote innovation in research and draw intellectual talent to the university to speak to our global community. On Wednesday, January 25, 2023, AUP’s newest research center, the Center for Media, Communication, and Global Change (MCGC), invited three leading thinkers on contemporary democracy – Craig Calhoun, Charles Taylor and Dilip Gaonkar – to participate in a hybrid event discussing their recent book publication: Degenerations of Democracy (Harvard University Press, 2022). The event was cohosted with AUP’s Center for Critical Democracy Studies (CCDS).
The Center for Media, Communication, and Global Change – formerly AUP’s Civic Media Lab – is a research center dedicated to exploring the consequential role of new technologies and media innovation in the context of political, social, and cultural developments. Center Director Professor Jayson Harsin, whose own work covers questions of post-truth politics and its impacts on democratic processes, moderated the evening’s discussion.
