Scientia Institute
Democracy.
Headlines tell us that it is under attack, under threat, and in decline. Why is that happening? What can we do about it? Scientia's 2024-25 lecture series examines the political, social, and ethical challenges facing representative government and societies where everyone is supposed to have a voice.
Scientia is a faculty-led institute at Rice that promotes multidisciplinary engagement to benefit the university and the Houston community at large.
