Nelsen appears on ‘Waitt, What?’ podcast, talks about Tocqueville Center

In a podcast produced by 2017 Furman University political science alumnus Samuel Waitt, Furman’s Brent Nelsen talks about the Tocqueville Center for the Study of Democracy and Society at the university. Nelsen is the director of the center and the Jane Fishburne Hipp Professor of Politics and International Affairs.

In “Healing a Fractured Democracy: Professor Brent Nelsen on the Divided States of America,” Nelsen says, “I think the Tocqueville Center is maybe the only institution at Furman right now that is consciously trying to bring people from different perspectives together on the same stage, so that they can have a conversation in front of all of us.” Hear more from Nelsen, including how the center originated and its goals toward more rational political discourse on college campuses and the nation more broadly on “Waitt, What? Making Sense of the World.“
