SUMMARY:Electoral Anxieties: November 3rd and Its Aftermaths | Social Science Research Council
DESCRIPTION:The stresses and strains on US democracy\, building over decades\, have reached an apex with the upcoming presidential election in ways that are unprecedented and daunting. Real fears of voter suppression\, unfounded suspicions of voter fraud\, and the effects of disinformation hover over November 3\, 2020. Genuine uncertainty characterizes what may follow. Will the results be accepted? Will a transition be orderly if the incumbent loses? \nIn recent years\, the SSRC Anxieties of Democracy program has been preoccupied with the long-term fracturing of the democratic status quo\, and what can be done to both secure and deepen democracy in ways that serve the public good. This roundtable brings into conversation three experts who bring diverse historical\, structural\, and comparative perspectives on democratic anxieties in the United States and elsewhere\, as well as keen insight into the moment we are now experiencing. Professors Han\, Levitsky\, and Pildes will give “lightning talks” on electoral and constitutional law\, social mobilization and political participation\, and how the current American electoral maelstrom looks in light of the fragility of democracies around the globe. Following initial questions to the panelists from AOD advisory committee co-chairs John Ferejohn and Deborah Yashar\, SSRC President Alondra Nelson will then moderate a discussion on which anxieties most deserve our focus\, and what might be done to strengthen American democracy in the immediate and long-term aftermath of November 3\, 2020. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Webinar: Election 2020: Setting Expectations and Debunking Myths
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted American life in many ways and will certainly also impact the 2020 election. In fact\, in order to socially distance and avoid unnecessary contact with others\, record-shattering numbers of Americans may vote absentee. \nThe specter of an election relying heavily on absentee voting has brought with it many misconceptions\, myths and simple misunderstandings. People fear that absentee voting is rife with fraud\, and they’re concerned that we may not know who won the election on election night\, week or perhaps even month. \nJoin R Street’s Marc Hyden\, James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School Nate Persily\, Senior Counsel for the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program Liz Howard and Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman as they set some expectations and debunk myths surrounding the 2020 election cycle in our upcoming webinar.

SUMMARY:Disinformation\, Authenticity\, and Democratic Participation | Center for Brooklyn History & SSRC
DESCRIPTION:With November’s elections looming\, and as fraught questions about “truth\,” “fact\,” and “accuracy” are debated\, the Center for Brooklyn History and the Social Science Research Council turn to the role authenticity plays as it relates to trust in politicians and institutions. Does an aura of authenticity enable misinformation? Are lies more palatable when generated by an ‘authentic’ source? Join three experts as they dig into identity\, belonging\, political participation and more: Sarah Banet-Weiser\, London School of Economics professor and author of Authentic: The Politics of Ambivalence in a Brand Culture; sociologist Francesca Tripodi of the University of North Carolina\, whose expert testimony before the Senate Judiciary last year focused on censorship\, technology and public discourse; and Andre Brock\, associate professor of media studies at Georgia Tech and author of Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures. The program is moderated by Heidi Tworek\, Associate Professor of International History and Public Policy at the University of British Columbia\, author of the book News from Germany: The Competition to Control World Communications\, 1900-1945\, and advisor to governments around the world on how to address hate speech and disinformation. \n[…]
