About this Event
Join us for an opportunity to engage directly with leading political figures and gain a clearer understanding of the fissures shaping American politics today.
Conservatives control the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Yet this apparent unity masks deep divisions within conservatism itself, with major philosophical and policy disagreements. This lunch series brings activists, a retired lawmaker, and a leading thinker to campus to explore the competing visions of conservatism, as well as the broader fractious moment in American politics. Drawing on their diverse roles in the political sphere, speakers will shed light on the complexities of the political process.
Location: 1 College Hall, Room 214, 2nd Fl
Lunch will be provided.
