Trump and the Fate of American Democracy

Professor Robert Tsai is Professor of Law and Harry Elwood Warren Memorial Scholar at Boston University School of Law and will visit the Sheffield Centre for International and European Law to give a public lecture on Trump and the 'Fate of American Democracy'. Professor Tsai has been named a ’24-’25 Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellow at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, where he will spend the year working on a new book project. Titled, “Reasoning from Injustice,” the project brings together pragmatism and popular constitutionalism to develop a humanistic approach to politics capable of diagnosing injustice as a social practice and overcoming the forces of indifference. He is keenly interested in political culture, legal change, democratic design, inequality, and popular sovereignty.
