Former Kellogg Visiting Fellow
The Democracy in Dialogue Series enables Notre Dame students to engage with expert guest speakers on pressing key issues facing global democracy. These monthly discussions aim to help students develop as global citizens and comparative scholars, explore threats to democracy, learn from international examples, consider actions to defend democracy, examine Catholic perspectives, and discuss overcoming polarization. The series also helps students build professional networks in international politics.
In this session of the Democracy in Dialogue Series, Verónica Zubillaga will share personal and collective lived experiences of resisting democratic erosion and advocating for human rights amid rising militarization and the rapid deepening of authoritarianism under the Nicolás Maduro Government in Venezuela.
