LECTURE UC BERKELEY ALUMNI HOUSE, Monday, February 3, 4 – 5 pm.

Each year, the Martin Meyerson Berkeley Faculty Research Lecture recognizes two UC Berkeley faculty—one in the sciences and one in the arts, humanities, or social sciences—whose research has changed the shape of their discipline. Each faculty member gives a public lecture hosted by the Chancellor.

The first 2025 Meyerson Lecture will be delivered by Henry E. Brady, Class of 1941 Monroe Deutsch Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, former dean of the Goldman School, and current faculty member for the Democracy Policy Initiative.

Brady studies democracy and democratic performance using surveys and statistical methods. He is the co-author, most recently, of Unequal and Unrepresented: Political Inequality and the New Gilded Age (2018), and The Unheavenly Chorus: Unequal Political Voice and the Broken Promise of American Democracy (2012). He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Join us from 4 pm—5 pm on Monday, February 3, at Alumni House for Brady’s talk “Does Democracy Work? The American People and Their Institutions.” A reception sponsored by GSPP will follow the event. Registration is not required for the lecture or the reception; seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The lecture will be recorded for those who are unable to attend.
