About Nick
Bromell studies “public philosophy” – the ideas about democracy that Americans use in order to understand their democracy and their role as citizens. Bromell is especially concerned with helping to craft a “post-liberal” public philosophy that offers a compelling progressive alternative to the radical conservative public philosophy that has gained much ground since the demise of liberalism. Unlike most others who work in this area, he finds sources for a progressive alternative in the words and works of Americans of color – not just in such conventional places as the words of the Founders, Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, et al.
