Posted by Speaker: Nadia Urbinati
As the first in our webinar series for 2021, on 26 May Professor Nadia Urbinati* joined us to discuss her book Me The People: How Populism Transforms Democracy (Harvard University Press, 2019).
To discuss the ideas that she advances in the book, the panel in conversation with Professor Urbinati was the leaders of our research project, Associate Professor Adam Czarnota and Professor Martin Krygier, both of the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law & Justice, and Professor Wojciech Sadurski of the University of Sydney Law School.
The session was recorded and the archive edition is now available for viewing.^
The discussants take a tour of key themes from the book, then several of the international audience participated in the Q&A session (Q&A begins after about 1 hour).
