<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; color:#323130">“Populism” is a notoriously ambiguous political concept, but it has become the dominant term, for scholars and journalists alike, to describe the emergent authoritarianisms
of our time and the dangers they pose to liberal democracy. This talk will critically examine how populism has been conceptualized in contemporary democratic theory, and argue that both populism’s liberal critics and radical democratic admirers share a questionable
understanding of the concept. Turning to populism’s nineteenth-century American history, the talk will offer an alternative view of populism as a source of democratic renewal rather than democratic decline.</span></p>
