Current Projects
Laurent took over Madison’s Notes as producer, editor, engineer, and host in the fall of 2024 (Season 4). A series of dialogues discussing political thought, history, and society, they regularly interviews high profile journalists, academics, and authors. See their favorite conversations from season 4 below.
The discussion explores how growing up immersed in social media, video games, and smart technology is reshaping young people’s sense of self and influencing their political engagement. Laurent interviews renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt to explore how the constant connectivity may be contributing to an increase in anxiety and how it’s altering young people’s approach to both personal identity and democratic participation.
In this episode, Laurent sits down with Lindsay Stonebridge, author of We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt’s Lessons in Love and Disobedience, to explore the enduring relevance of Hannah Arendt’s thought. Laurent and Stonebridge explore Arendt’s remarkable ability to teach students how to think, not just what to think, and reflects on Arendt’s own intellectual journey—a mind in constant dialogue with itself.
In this episode, Laurent discusses the recent publication, Campus Free Speech, with author Cass Sunstein. They discuss the recent implications of free speech restrictions in higher education institutions amid current legal disputes. In 2018, Sunstein received the Holberg Prize from the government of Norway, sometimes described as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for law and the humanities.
Laurent invites historian Benjamin Nathans to explore his groundbreaking new book, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement. Nathans offers a deep dive into the history of Soviet dissent, tracing the courageous efforts of Soviet citizens who risked everything to challenge the system from within, spanning from Stalin’s death to the collapse of communism. By invoking the very laws of the Kremlin, these dissidents exposed the regime’s internal contradictions, playing a pivotal role in its eventual downfall.
