Public Agenda president Andrew Seligsohn will then moderate a panel featuring Lilliana Mason of the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and Kimberly Serrano of the American Immigration Council to consider the implications of Professor Thompson’s research for democracy renewal efforts. Audience members will have the opportunity to submit questions to the panel.
