The Interlocutors
from PART I - THE WORLD WE LIVE IN
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 October 2023
I first met “Lauren” and “Rob,” two young students, at a lecture on our university campus a few years ago. The topic – challenges to liberal democracy – seemed interesting enough to them to spend a couple of hours reflecting on the trials of liberal democracy. They came with different expectations, agendas, and hopes. “Lauren” is a committed socialist who grew up in a secular family in Brooklyn. She joined the Democratic Socialists of America and was a great fan of the agenda of Bernie Sanders and the (so-called) Squad. As an avid reader of radical left-wing magazines such as The Jacobin, In These Times, and n+1, Lauren has been greatly impressed by the agenda of the Occupy Wall Street and the Black Lives Matter movements. “Rob” could not be more different.
