The latest episode of the Democracy in Question podcast, hosted by CEU President and Rector Shalini Randeria, features Katha Pollitt, a poet, essayist, and columnist at The Nation. Pollitt is the author of numerous books including Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights  (2014) and Learning to Drive: And Other Life Stories (2007). In this episode Katha Pollitt on Gendered Politics in the United States  released on February 19, Randeria and her guest explore the attack against progressive political agendas in the U.S. How have recent actions rolled back hard-won achievements in the realm of gender equity and racial diversity? And why is class relatively underemphasized in the U.S. when it comes examining voter preferences among women? Listen to hear about how reactionary narratives of patriarchy under threat are unfolding, and why increased welfare measures and childcare support are unlikely to lead to the Right s desired pronatalist birthrates. For each episode of Democracy in Question, Randeria invites a leading scholar or public figure to explore the challenges and dilemmas facing democracies around the world. Listen to the trailer and subscribe here. Series 10 of Democracy in Question is produced in partnership with the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy at the Graduate Institute in Geneva (AHCD) where Randeria is a Senior Fellow. ACHD and the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) in Vienna co-produced seasons one and two of the podcast.
