🎙️ Lecture: Fixing Politics Starts with Us: Why Our Systems Fail, and What We Can Do About It
👨‍🏫 Speaker: Professor Lindsey Cormack

🏷️ Themes: politics and government · education system

Our political systems often feel broken and dysfunctional. Drawing from insights in How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It’s Up to You to Do It), this lecture explores why our education systems around politics and government fail, how disengagement fuels dysfunction, and evidence that change is needed. Professor Cormack will also share practical steps individuals can take to make politics more functional—and even fun.

She is the creator of DCInbox, a digital archive of Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters, and the author of How to Raise a Citizen and Congress and U.S. Veterans: From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis.
