Columbia University's M.S. in Nonprofit Management is pleased to present our next Master Class, part of our Professional Development Series.
Over the last 20 years – and ever more so in the last seven months – people, nonprofits, and foundations have become dependent on commercially made and government-monitored digital systems for basic operations, communications, fundraising, program delivery, advocacy, organizing, and reporting. In so doing, we have enclosed civil society within the bounds of the marketplace and public sector, obliterating any meaningful sense of an independent sector. Digital threats to democracy run much deeper than digitally influenced elections and include the demise of independent civil society. Dr. Bernholz will describe how we got here and what we need to do to reclaim civil society and democracy.
