Dartmouth Events

Join us for “Reimagining a New American Democracy, Racial Equity, and the Constitution,” a conversation with civil rights lawyer and scholar Sherrilyn Ifill exploring democracy, racial equity and the Constitution as they relate to the 2024 Election. The conversation will be moderated by Sonu Bedi, Joel Parker 1811 Professor in Law and Political Science, and Julie Kalish '91, Lecturer at the Rockefeller Center.

From 2013-2022, Ifill served as the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), the nation’s premier civil rights law organization fighting for racial justice and equality. She recently served as a Ford Foundation Fellow and as the Klinsky Visiting Professor for Leadership & Progress at Harvard Law School. Ifill is currently the Vernon Jordan Distinguished Professor in Civil Rights at Howard Law School, where later this year she will launch the 14^th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy. Ifill holds a fellowship at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 

This event is part of the 2024 Election Speaker Series, co-sponsored by the Rockefeller Center and Dartmouth Dialogues. The Speaker Series is part of the Fall 2024 term Government and Public Policy Course, "The 2024 Election," taught by Professor Russell Muirhead, Professor Herschel Nachlis, and Professor William Wohlforth.
