History is marked by constant change, and the history of global democracy is no exception. While governing institutions and leaders have not always embraced democratic values, universities have in many ways endured as places of free expression and exchange of ideas. In this way, they are more than educational institutions: they are havens for freedom and the pursuit of knowledge, offering a foothold for societies striving to grow and improve.
Yet, despite their enduring strengths, universities are facing significant challenges in today’s divisive climate. How can we ensure that they continue to fulfill their crucial role in promoting and safeguarding democratic values and inspiring democratic change?
The SNF Dialogues opens this vital discussion with experts on these questions but also, most importantly, students themselves, exploring how to ensure that universities meet the moment and do their part to carry the torch of democracy forward.
The panel features distinguished professors Irene Mulvey, AAUP Immediate Past President and Professor Emerita of Mathematics at Fairfield University, John Holmwood, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Nottingham, John Tomasi, President of the Heterodox Academy, and Hahrie Han, Inaugural Director of the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University,.
Students participating in the discussion include April Anthony, SNF Ithaca student leader at the University of Delaware, Faith Applegate, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, Anna Oakes, multimedia journalist and graduate student at the Columbia Journalism School, and Luke McDermott, External Vice President at the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska and Chairman of the Husker Vote Coalition. The President of Johns Hopkins University, Ron Daniels, will also make an intervention during the discussion.

Σε μια εποχή όπου οι έκτακτες ειδήσεις για κρίσεις, από την κλιματική αλλαγή έως τις πολιτικές εξελίξεις, είναι αδιάκοπες, η συνεχής ροή πληροφοριών από διάφορες πηγές παραδόξως μας αφοπλίζει παρά μας ενεργοποιεί. Αυτή η αδιάλειπτη ροή ειδήσεων προκαλεί σε πολλούς πολίτες το αίσθημα της υπερφόρτωσης και της αδυναμίας επεξεργασίας των πληροφοριών. Ως αποτέλεσμα, διακυβεύεται η ικανότητά τους να αξιολογούν καταστάσεις, να λαμβάνουν τεκμηριωμένες αποφάσεις και να συμμετέχουν ενεργά στη συλλογική λήψη αποφάσεων.
Οι ειδήσεις μετατρέπονται σε θέαμα και οι πολίτες γίνονται θεατές, γεγονός που εγείρει ανησυχίες σχετικά με τον αντίκτυπο στη δημοκρατική συμμετοχή. Οι Διάλογοι του ΙΣΝ, τους οποίους επιμελείται και συντονίζει η Άννα-Κύνθια Μπουσδούκου (Διευθύνουσα Σύμβουλος του iMEdD, Εκτελεστική Διευθύντρια «ΙΣΝ Διάλογοι» και δημοσιογράφος), θα πραγματοποιηθούν μία ημέρα πριν από την επίσημη έναρξη του Διεθνούς Forum Δημοσιογραφίας του iMEdD για να θίξουν τα παραπάνω ζητήματα. Στη συζήτηση θα συμμετάσχουν η Δρ Laurie Ouellette, καθηγήτρια Μέσων Μαζικής Ενημέρωσης και Πολιτισμικών Σπουδών στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Μινεσότα, ο Δρ Darren Lilleker, καθηγητής Πολιτικής Επικοινωνίας στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Bournemouth, και ο Timothy Shaffer, Πρόεδρος του SNF Civil Discourse, για να διερευνήσουν θέματα που αφορούν τόσο τη δημοσιογραφία όσο και τους ίδιους τους πολίτες.
Οι Διάλογοι υλοποιούνται με τη δημοσιογραφική επιμέλεια του μη κερδοσκοπικού δημοσιογραφικού οργανισμού iMEdD (incubator for Media Education and Development).
*Οι απόψεις των συμμετεχόντων στις συζητήσεις Διάλογοι, είτε αυτοί συμμετέχουν ως εκπρόσωποι θεσμικών φορέων και οργανισμών είτε αυτοπροσώπως, σε αρθρογραφία ή άλλα οπτικοακουστικά μέσα εκφέρονται ελεύθερα, χωρίς πρότερη παρέμβαση ή υπόδειξη, εκφράζοντας την προσωπική τους γνώμη, κάθε φορά, αλλά όχι απαραίτητα τις θέσεις και τις απόψεις είτε του Ιδρύματος Σταύρος Νιάρχος (ΙΣΝ) είτε του iMEdD.
