Dr. Frantz will explore global examples of the erosion of democratic ideals and the dangerous slide into authoritarianism. She has published seven books on these themes, including <i>Authoritarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know<\/i> (Oxford University Press, 2018). She is a frequent contributor to publications including <i>Foreign Affairs<\/i>, <i>Foreign Policy<\/i>, and <i>The Washington Post<\/i>.

Aguilar, former acting commissioner for Customs and Border Protection who during his tenure commanded 80,000 CBP agents, and Theresa Cardinal Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
