Goal

As democrats what should our reaction be to populism? Is there a “good” populism versus a “bad?”

More importantly, the fundamental questions must be: what are the dynamics of populism? What the fundamental tenets of both rightwing and leftwing populism? And finally, the subtitle of this course will center around the rise and appeal of rightwing populism.
