The Institution for Social and Policy Studies presents a panel discussion: 

“Political Lotteries: The Future of Democracy?”

With Federica Carugati, Senior Lecturer at Kings College, London, Dimitri Landa, Professor at NYU and Kris Rose, Head of Governance Insights at Meta. 

The panel will be moderated by Alexandra Cirone, Faculty Fellow in Democratic Innovations at Yale’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS).

If democracy is in crisis, then are political lotteries the solution? This panel event brings together experts on sortition, deliberative democracy, and collective governance, to discuss how incorporating lottery-based selection in settings from politics to technology companies might be the next big democratic innovation.

This panel is part of a larger day-long event, the “Lotteries and Democracy Conference.” Please contact Alexandra.Cirone@yale.edu for more information if you are interested in attending.
