Is Democracy in Danger?
An Historian's Perspective and Predictions for Election Day
Presented by:
Professor Robert Watson, PhD.
The Distinguished Professor of American History and Avron Fogelman Research Professor at Lynn University, Dr. Robert Watson is a nationally recognized historian, award-winning author, and dynamic speaker with a gift for making American history compelling and immediately relevant. With an engaging style, keen insight, and often surprising stories from our past, he has a remarkable ability to connect the people and events that shaped our nation with the political challenges we face today.
Dr. Watson will draw on America’s founding and 250 years of history to explore the state of our democracy, the challenges facing elections and the rule of law, and what history may tell us about the road ahead.
Timely, thought-provoking, and highly relevant, his presentation promises a fascinating historical perspective on one of the most consequential political moments of our time.
