- 12:00 AM23h 59mGlobal Democracy Conference 2025The 2025 Global Democracy Conference (GDC) will convene scholars and practitioners to address urgent questions around the theme "Global Democracy and Executive Power." The road to dictatorship is cleared by the expansion of executive power. Whether in Hungary, Turkey, El Salvador, or Venezuela, elected presidents and prime ministers have used their constitutional authority and legislative majorities to undermine, and ultimately capture, other institutions. These countries are just illustrative of a broader trend: anti-democratic executives have progressively packed the judiciary, purged the civil service, undermined electoral management bodies, silenced independent media, prosecuted dissidents, restricted non-governmental organizations, regulated the business sector in favor of cronies, and politicized the security forces. Small actions against those institutions, under the cover of executive immunity, eventually accumulate into the breakdown of democracy. The ultimate goal of the conference is to improve our collective ability to identify antidemocratic behaviors and the effective ways to resist them. The GDC also aims to open new areas of collaboration between academia and the policy world, as well as between scholars and practitioners based in different countries. Registration is required.

- 9:30 AM7h 30mExhibit—"Tragedies of War: Images of WWII in Print Visual Culture"This exhibit commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (1939-45) using primarily European visual sources recently acquired by Rare Books & Special Collections.
