Welcome to a pub night that combines discussions on thorny social issues with tricky quizzes. Join in the conversation and take the opportunity to beat some professors in the quiz!
Developments in the United States raise the question of how resilient our own democracy is. Which institutions, norms and legal protections uphold the democratic system – and how vulnerable are they? How can a democracy and its safeguards be made more robust?
To help us take the temperature of Swedish democracy, we have invited Shirin Ahlbäck Öberg, Professor of Political Science, and Olof Wilske, Associate Professor of Constitutional Law.
Pub evenings are free and open to everyone. Limited number of seats – if you want to eat and guarantee a seat for your quiz team, book a table in advance (please specify BILDNINGSPUBEN when booking)
