Episode Do immigrants enrich democracy? Cover

Do immigrants enrich democracy?

Immigrants are vital to American democracy and economic prosperity, especially as population growth among U.S.-born citizens dwindles. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas speaks with Tara Watson, director of the Center for Economic Security and Opportunity and a senior fellow in Economic Studies at Brookings. Together, they unpack recent immigration policy changes by the Trump administration, from the tightening of pathways to citizenship to the more aggressive deportation agenda, discussing how these changes might affect the number of immigrants coming to the U.S. and their long-term economic consequences.

Episode Can democracy exist without protest? Cover

Can democracy exist without protest?

Protest is a cornerstone of American democracy. It's a fundamental right, a powerful tradition, and an indicator of a healthy democracy. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas and Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow in Governance Studies, explore protest movements, dissect what makes them impactful, and examine key moments in history when the right to protest was challenged—from the abolitionist movement to the modern-day Tea Party movement.

What does America's foreign and military policy have to do with democracy?

Since its founding, the United States has significantly expanded its global influence and military power, especially in the 20th century. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas and guest Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow in Foreign Policy at Brookings, explore how the history of U.S. foreign and military policy has interacted with democracy at home and abroad, and assess the current state of democracy amid rising competition with Russia and China, trade tensions, and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

Episode Does civics education make more engaged citizens? Cover

Does civics education make more engaged citizens?

Over the past two decades, civics education in the U.S. quietly faded into the background as schools shifted focus to STEM and reading—especially after the early 2000s, when the No Child Left Behind Act prioritized standardized testing in math and reading. Fast forward to 2025, when actions by the Trump administration aimed at dismantling the Department of Education have raised new issues around civil rights and preserving civics instruction. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas and guest Rachel Perera, a fellow in the Brown Center on Education Policy, discuss how civics education goes hand-in-hand with creating an engaged citizenship. Perera argues that a strong public education system is necessary for a healthy, functioning democracy.
