Wesleyan University's Democracy in Action podcast asks how institutions of higher education can cultivate the ways we show up as citizens. It underscores Wesleyan’s unwavering dedication to preparing future generations for a world where the free exchange of ideas and the vibrant clash of perspectives reign supreme. Each episode narrows in on a topic where universities and democracy intersect, beginning with an episode about free expression on college campuses. Future episodes will cover topics ranging from affirmative action, racial belonging at predominantly white institutions to media literacy and historic coalitions formed between colleges to imagine a world worth striving for.

Democracy in Action is produced and hosted by Anya Kisicki and executive produced and edited by James Sims.
