Rochester Area Democracy Conference

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Democracy Center hosts the first-ever Rochester Area Democracy Conference.   The conference will bring scholars of democracy from colleges and universities throughout Western New York to the University of Rochester campus for a day of discussion and networking.  Conference activities include presentations from some of the area's most distinguished scholars, a poster session in which early career scholars will share their work, and a mentoring lunch connecting early career scholars with senior researchers.
