The Tanner Lectures with Hahrie Han | Stories of Democracy Realized: Belonging, Becoming, Building | Lecture Two: Belonging to Building
What will it take to reinvigorate democratic self-governance—or people-powered democracy—in the United States? In a time of complex and contentious debates about the state of American democracy, these lectures interrogate the way people and communities do (and do not) practice democracy, with a particular focus on Christian faith communities in America, and the relationship of faith, race, and politics.
This lecture examines the conditions necessary for that kind of transformation to occur, focusing on the ways people belong to each other, and data on places people have organized to build something new.
"Belonging to Building" is the second of two Tanner Lectures with Hahrie Han.
