ND Democracy Talks & Hesburgh Democracy Fellows

ND Democracy Talks

The ND Democracy Talks series features Notre Dame scholars and guest experts presenting mini-lessons on key concepts and issues in American democracy. Our goal is to help the ND community be better informed and to feel empowered to take ownership of our democracy - it's not something to take for granted. You can read more in our Op-Ed on the launch of the program.

Our upcoming events are listed below, and you are welcome to submit your questions here.

 

 

Hesburgh Democracy Fellows

As a Hesburgh Democracy Fellow, you will be granted exclusive access to opportunities for engagement with the work of the Center and its programming. This includes speaker events, panels, and round table discussions with scholars and experts whose work addresses the critical issues facing America’s democratic system. And it includes first access to information on undergraduate engagement opportunities, such as the Notre Dame Washington Program. We also hope to bring students from all backgrounds together, in community, around the promotion of American democracy, civil discourse, and combating misinformation and barriers to democracy in our local and broader communities. No matter what you study, or what your experience is, we invite you to apply for this opportunity to engage with the Rooney Center and its mission.

To register to become a Hesburgh Democracy Fellow, please fill out our application form. We also invite you to share your work on issues related to the advancement of American democracy on the form (i.e., internships, advocacy, research, on-campus and off-campus initiatives), for a chance to be a featured student.
