Good to be part of this timely forum, part of @NotreDame's larger work to study and strengthen democracy. Our @KelloggInst joined the @The_Dialogue and @VU_CGD to co-host this Washington, D.C. convening.
The Dialogue cohosted the launch of the 2026 #AmericasBarometer, which finds the first broad increase in support for democracy in more than a decade, while raising questions about institutions, security, governance, and democratic resilience. Learn more: thedialogue.org/analysis/the…

Grateful that our @KelloggInst could contribute to this policy-relevant @VU_CGD report on the pulse of democracy in the Americas. This aligns with the @NotreDame's larger work to study and strengthen democracy worldwide.
I spoke to Noam about the fascinating new Vanderbilt Univ survey of +20k people in 21 nations across Latin America, and what it tells us about democracy, economies and immigration. Worth your time americasquarterly.org/articl…

Part of @NotreDame's work to study and strengthen democracy. We are looking forward this Washington, D.C. policy forum marking the release of the 2026 AmericasBarometer regional report. go.nd.edu/780c6f @VU_CGD @LAPOP_Lab @The_Dialogue @KelloggInst @ND_FedRelations
What do citizens across the Americas think about the state of democracy today, and what do those views mean for the future of democratic governance? Our Coalition Partner, @VU_CGD, together with @KeoughGlobalND, the @KelloggInst, and @The_Dialogue, will convene policymakers, scholars, civil society leaders and democracy practitioners for The Pulse of Democracy in the Americas on 9 September 2026 in Washington, D.C. Marking the release of the 2026 AmericasBarometer regional report, the forum will explore new findings on democratic resilience, institutional trust, governance, migration, public security and political change across the Americas. Drawing on one of the world's most comprehensive cross-national public opinion studies, the discussion will examine what these trends mean for policymakers, democratic institutions and practitioners working to strengthen democracy in a rapidly changing region. This year's AmericasBarometer expands its scope in important ways, incorporating Cuba for the first time and extending comparisons to include the United States and Canada alongside Latin America and the Caribbean, offering a unique regional perspective on democratic attitudes and experiences. The event will take place from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. ET at the Keough School Washington Office, 1400 16th St NW, Suite 120, Washington, D.C., and will feature leading experts from Vanderbilt University, the University of Notre Dame, the Inter-American Dialogue, the @CarnegieEndow and other prominent institutions.

Highlights from Ireland's international forum for thought leaders, co-organized by our @NDIrishStudies Institute.
The @MacGillSchool was founded in 1981 as a space to share ideas and challenge conventional thinking. This year’s lineup included discussions on geopolitical tensions, organized crime, unionism and more, plus a performance of Colin Murphy’s “The Weak Suffer What They Must.” 🧵

Important work supported by our @NDIrishStudies -- a project to help preserve Ireland's heritage by digitizing memorial and other inscriptions contained inside more than 3,000+ Catholic Church buildings.
It’s been a delight working with @seroddy of @MaynoothUni on PARISH (Preserving and Recording Ireland’s Sacred Heritage). We’re excited to see this project’s impact grow as a free, online source of genealogical information. 👉 Check out parishproject.nd.edu to learn more.

Earlier this month at @UNDLondon, the Kellogg Institute cosponsored “Hollowing out the State: Executive-Led State Erosion and Democratic Decay,” a workshop organized by Kellogg faculty fellow Andrés Mejia-Acosta and Kellogg postdoctoral researcher Javier Pérez Sandoval. The workshop convened scholars to examine how elected leaders weaken state institutions - and what that means for democratic survival. The event culminated in a public keynote, “Beyond Backsliding: Why Some Leaders Hollow Out the States They Govern,” featuring Susan Stokes and Gerardo Munck. #Democracy #DemocraticResilience #RuleOfLaw #GlobalDemocracy @KeoughGlobalND
