The Penn Program on Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism

Penn’s Program on Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism has fostered interdisciplinary scholarship on the related and globally pressing topics of democratic participation, the rights of citizens, and formal frameworks of governance. Each year, the program hosts faculty workshops and a conference devoted to an annual theme, culminating in a published volume. The program also supports undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral research.

Working around a different theme every year, DCC has been examining democracy and constitutionalism on a global scale since 2007.
