Hundreds of copies of New York Times bestselling author Douglas Murray’s newest book, On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, have been distributed to Collegiate Forum members across our network of campuses as part of our Summer-Fall 2025 Reading Initiative. Students explore Murray’s thought-provoking analysis and reflect on the state of democracy post-October 7th with members of their campus chapter and the wider community.

Local discussion groups are ongoing, and active Collegiate Forum members now have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions to Douglas Murray himself in an exclusive, off-the-record book talk at Columbia University on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. (This event is closed to the public, but active TCF members will receive event details upon registration.)
