Dr. Tetyana Kloubert-Hoggan and Dr. Chad Hoggan, two leading international scholars in the fields of transformative learning and civic education, will visit Texas State University on Thursday, Nov. 6, for an evening of civic dialogue and reflection 5:30-7:30pm, Old Main 320, Texas State University. What Is the Future of Democracy? invites the University and San Marcos communities to participate in an interactive lecture and non-partisan conversation about democracy as a lived, evolving process.

Providing tools to navigate today’s deeply polarized political climate, this event will allow students, faculty, and members of the public to explore how democratic values are understood, practiced, and sustained. As co-authors of the forthcoming book Learning for Democracy: A Framework for Adult Civic Learning, the Hoggans offer a timely perspective grounded in adult education and transformative learning. Their work positions democracy as more than a system of governance, focusing instead on how we live together, engage across differences, and develop the civic skills needed for collective life.

Unfortunately, the event could not be held at the Library, so here is information about parking near Old Main. All the areas marked in red are available to the public after 5:00pm.
