Speak Now: Law and Disorder With Constitutional Scholar Michael Dorf.

Months after the 2020 election, the United States feels more divided than ever. Today’s youth have only ever experienced a fractured America, rife with ideological polarization that corrodes our ability to listen to and understand voices different from our own. Such division not only threatens democracy and political stability, but also our ability to help those in this country who need it most.

“Speak Now,” a three-part series from the Cornell Advocacy Project, is addressing this divide, exploring the role of empathy in rehabilitating hostile spaces. Through the insight of an experienced advocate, each webinar will equip attendees with rhetorical techniques and productive strategies for engaging in political discourse, advocacy, and activism in this increasingly polarized age.

In the second episode of this series, “Law and Disorder,” Cornell Law School Professor Michael Dorf will explore the role of the Constitution and judicial system in contributing to — and fighting — modern American polarization.

This event is hosted by the Cornell Advocacy Project and co-sponsored by Cornell Law School.
