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. 

This week Rory will speak with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian and professor of NYU and specialist on fascist regimes. Ruth will discuss themes from her bestselling book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, and how they inform the unfolding politics of the Trump administration.
