>> "Democracy in An Age of Empire," Friday, 14 April, noon,  
>> University YMCA
>> Stephen Hartnett, Associate Professor in the Department of Speech  
>> Communication at UIUC, is speaking this Friday, April 14th, at  
>> noon at the University YMCA Friday Forum Series on "Democracy in  
>> an Age of Empire." While the U.S is waging wars in Afghanistan,  
>> Iraq, and globally under the heading of a War on Terrorism, it has  
>> also pursued a dual process of cracking down on domestic dissent  
>> and spreading propaganda abroad. Many of our foundational  
>> practices of democracy are thus under assault, even as "democracy"  
>> is marshalled as a term justifying the spread of empire. This  
>> presentation will both address the complicated relationship  
>> between democracy and empire and offer some hopeful comments on  
>> modes of renewed citizen participation.
