Frontiers of Democracy 2025:  Listening and Leading
June 19 – 21 | Tufts University, Medford, MA

It’s time to register and purchase tickets for Frontiers of Democracy 2025!
 
This summer’s conference will take place June 19 (5:30 pm) to June 21 (12:30 pm), at Tufts University’s campus in Medford, MA.
 
This year’s special theme is “Listening and Leading.” We recognize that crises of democracy can be caused and fueled by division and polarization,and that listening and dialogue may be part of the solution. We thus anticipate rich discussions and constructive disagreements about how we navigate these frontiers of democracy. There will be sessions on other topics also related to Tisch College’s “North Star”: building robust, inclusive democracy for an increasingly multiracial society.
 
This year’s plenary speakers will include Deb Roy, Rhonda Fitzgerald, Rita Kiki Edozie, Jake Fay, Tahira Amatul-Wadud, John Sarrouf, Freddy Mutanguha, Beth-Sarah Wright, and several more.
 
Also to look forward to on the agenda:

• 20 concurrent sessions including panels, workshops, and film screenings.
• 4 plenary panels.
• A plenary “hackathon” activity (which will inform a request for funding proposals!).
