Between the stresses imposed by the COVID pandemic and our highly polarized political environment, the country is facing a range of challenges. Please join us for the inaugural event in our Big Ideas Webinar Series, during which we will discuss the status of American democracy, the effects of the current health and economic crises on our political system and institutions, and what solutions could be adopted to strengthen our system of government. The conversation will feature Danielle Allen, professor at Harvard University and the director of Harvard's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, and Yuval Levin, director of social, cultural, and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute and author of "A Time to Build." Danielle and Yuval recently served on the American Academy of Arts & Science's Commission on Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century, and we will discuss their new report, "Our Common Purpose”.
