A Note from Gerry Cadava, One Book One Northwestern Faculty Chair
Greetings to all in the Northwestern family! Welcome to another year of One Book One Northwestern. We’re excited to come together to discuss Danielle Allen’s book, Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality.It’s about the founding of our nation, but it’s also about so much more. It’s about teaching. It’s about public engagement. It’s about core principles and the rights of all Americans.
It’s about the art of “democratic writing,” a concept and practice that you’ll become familiar with only after you read Allen’s stunning work.
