Hannah Arendt Center Presents

Democracy Innovation Academy with special guest Irad Malkin

What can our insanely unequal world learn from the emergence of ancient Greek democracy? How and why did the use of government by lottery emerge there?

For the second installment of our monthly Democracy Innovation Academy, we will be joined by special guest Irad Malkin, author of Drawing Lots: From Egalitarianism to Democracy in Ancient Greece.

"We need to understand the Greek world of values, the frame of reference, and the egalitarian mindset associated with the lot. These features made its wide-ranging use possible and desirable in antiquity, as it may be today."

Professor Malkin will be discussing the second video in our YouTube series, featuring Roger Berkowitz, which you can watch here:
Democracy Innovation Academy. 

This is not a formal college course - it's a drop-in academy and networking opportunity for those hoping to learn more, or to connect with organizations, practitioners, or facilitators.
