It has caused the greatest emotional shock since the Great Depression: the realization of our true vulnerability as humans. In democratic societies, that sentiment will play out in elections, bringing opportunities as well as major threats. Developing a political agenda - and campaigning for election - will be a changed, complex and challenging endeavor. Please register in advance at this link.
