In our new podcast, Ferenc Laczó speaks with Erica Chenoweth and Matthew Cebul about their Journal of Democracy article, “Why Gen-Z Is Rising.”
Erica Chenoweth and Matthew Cebul discuss the political profile of Gen-Z protesters, what ignited their recent protests across the globe, and how those protests unfolded in various places. They reflect on the promises and perils of those protests – and how the related question of violence and non-violence has played out.
In closing, Erica and Matthew consider what kind of political transformations we are likely to see as members of Gen-Z will take on ever greater roles in the coming years.
Erica Chenoweth is Frank Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and a Susan and Kenneth Wallach Professor at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute.
Matthew Cebul is lead research fellow for the Nonviolent Action Lab at Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.
The interview was conducted by Ferenc Laczó. Alina Young edited the audio file.
