The Pulse of Democracy in the Americas: Results from the 2021 AmericasBarometer Study

The event will be available on Zoom on the day of the event: https://vanderbilt.zoom.us/j/95738133696
 

Every two years, the LAPOP Lab at Vanderbilt University releases the AmericasBarometer, a regional field survey to gauge the public’s assessment of democratic governance, support for democratic values and institutions, and perceptions of basic liberties.  The AmericasBarometer also explores how citizens experience the rule of law and engage in political life. Now in its ninth round, the AmericasBarometer allows for comparisons among countries and over time, providing important insights into the evolution of democratic attitudes in the region and the comparative trajectories of individual countries.  The survey is especially important in measuring trends in public support for democracy against a backdrop of deep economic and social dislocations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., to discuss the latest findings of the AmericasBarometer. 

The event will be available LIVE on the day of the event with the following Zoom Webinar link

2021 Emerging Leader Award Celebration: Tareq Alaows, Syrian-German Activist

November 19th from 10:00am-12:00pm

Online Event

Please join us as we honor Tareq Alaows with the Johnson Institute’s Emerging Leader Award in recognition of his dedicated work to represent and advocate for underrepresented minorities and refugees in Germany.

Tareq Alaows is a legal professional and political leader. Born and raised in Syria, Alaows came to Germany in 2015 as a refugee and has since become a German citizen. Alaows dedicates his career to advocacy and representation for refugee and minority populations in German politics, becoming the first Syrian refugee to run for German Parliament in 2021. Before his departure from Syria in 2015, Alaows worked as a law student, activist, and humanitarian worker for the Red Crescent. In Germany, Alaows founded a refugee political group called Refugee Strike Bochum and an advocacy organization called Seebrucke, which seeks to establish safe havens for refugees and speak against the criminalization of refugee rescue. Alaows also performs legal counseling for refugees in Germany.
