A Conversation with Michael Johnston

Michael Johnston, a Professor Emeritus at Colgate University, earned the 2009 Grawemeyer Award for ideas he set forth in his 2005 book, Syndromes of Corruption: Wealth, Power and Democracy. Johnston, one of the world’s leading authorities on corruption, explains how corruption can take different forms depending on a country’s political and economic patterns. Understanding how corruption develops in a particular country can help stop it more effectively, says Johnston.

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Julie Bunck, University of Louisville Professor, Political Science. The event is free and open to the public; advance reservations are not required.
