GHI2019 The Evolution of Democracy in the Modern World.

Recorded August 8, 2019. The CHCI-Mellon Crises of Democracy Global
Humanities Institute (GHI) is a partnership between 5
universities—Trinity College Dublin, University of São Paulo,
Jawaharlal Nehru University, University of Zagreb, and the Society
of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia
University. The GHI brings together early career researchers and a
consortium of humanities scholars to explore crises of democracy
through the lens of cultural trauma. The second and most
significant phase of the GHI, a 9-day summer institute in Dubrovnik
wherein faculty and early career researchers from around the world
came together to examine crises of democracy through the prism of
cultural trauma from a comparative global perspective, has just
concluded. The GHI in Dubrovnik comprised of 40 researchers
travelling from 10 countries, 5 continents, and representing over
30 disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The
programme consisted of lectures, panels, practical skills
workshops, film screenings, and early career researcher
presentations. The first day of the Crises of Democracy Global
Humanities Institute in Dubrovnik began with a fantastic
introductory lecture delivered by Professor Mridula Mukherjee. Prof
Mukherjee employed a long-term historical frame to understand the
evolution of democracy in the modern world. Learn more at:
