The (In)Significance of Voting: a Panel Discussion
Thursday October 8, 2020, 2:15-3:30 PM ET
Part of the Fall 2020 Jean Beer Blumenfeld Center for Ethics series, “Ethics and the 2020 Elections”.
Voting is considered one of the cornerstones of a free society. Critics worry, though, that voters are ill-equipped to understand public policies and lack the will and incentives to hold elected officials accountable. Others warn that voting is a crucial mechanism for securing key liberties. Join us for a panel discussion on this crucial topic about the place of voting in a free society.
Panelists:
- Jason Brennan, Robert J. and Elizabeth Flanagan Family Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
- Suzanne Dovi, Associate Professor of the School of Government and Public Policy, University of Arizona.
- Wendy Smooth, Associate Professor and Associate Dean, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, College of Arts and Sciences, The Ohio State University
