Are all men created equal? What is the value of egalitarianism today? Why do modern democracies have trouble dealing with race and immigration?
These were questions addressed in a recent conference organized by Helena Rosenblatt, professor of history at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and James Miller, professor of liberal studies & politics and faculty director of the Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism program at the New School. The two-day public seminar presented its audience with a diverse lineup that included journalists, scholars, inside-the-Beltway experts, and veterans of the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movements, including Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center. Above is one of the video recordings of the workshop, entitled: Liberalism & Democracy: Past, Present, Prospects | All Men Are Created Equal
