In this special Election Day episode, we put our democracy in context through various humanities perspectives. Sydnor Roy helps us compare American democracy with its long ago antecedents in ancient Athens, Carol Flueckiger tells us about her new exhibition commemorating the 19th Amendment, Sean Cunningham historicizes the culture of American elections, and Amy Flowerree helps us work through the philosophical crisis of "fake news."
