This semester, we explored the realities of leadership through conversations with current and former elected officials, staff, organizers, policymakers, and journalists. In this final session, we will reflect on what these experiences reveal about the future of American democracy—and the kind of leadership required to sustain it.
AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
OFF-THE-RECORD: In keeping with our long tradition at the IOP to ensure honest and candid discussions of politics, all IOP study groups are off-the-record.
