The Civic Forum is a weekly webinar featuring short lectures and discussions of democracy, authoritarianism and activism from leading scholars and practitioners. It is hosted by Rory Truex, Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. 

In this week's session, Rory will introduce The Civic Forum and provide a short lecture on how democracies erode, a process political scientists call "democratic backsliding."
