The event, titled “What’s happening with democracy?” is the launch of UiO:Demokrati, a new interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Oslo focusing on democracy. The event, held at Domus Bibliotheca on March 14, 2023, from 17:00 to 19:30, addresses the challenges democracy faces in the context of crises like war, climate, public health, and energy. The program includes a presentation of UiO:Demokrati, poetry readings by ICORN author Fatemeh Ekhtesari and Johanne Fronth-Nygren, and a panel discussion on the state of democracy led by Ole Torp. The panel features Jette Christensen, leader of the National Election Committee, researcher Carl Henrik Knutsen, CEO of Pressens Hus Guro Istad, and environmentalist Gina Gylver. Shazia Majid had to cancel, and Guro Istad will participate in the panel. Light refreshments will be served.
