Left to Their Own Devices: A Conversation with Jonathan Haidt

Join us for a timely and free evening with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. Since the release of his New York Times bestseller, The Anxious Generation, Haidt has fundamentally reshaped how we think about kids and screens - leading to social media bans, phone-free schools, and the age-gating of platforms. But is that the digital world young people actually want?

This special event features Haidt in conversation with Ava Smithing, Gen Z host of , for a discussion about what changes when young people get a say in the laws that shape their digital lives.

Following a live audience Q&A, attendees are invited to a community organization showcase featuring ways to get involved with the groups working on the front lines of digital rights, online safety, youth advocacy, tech accountability, and public-interest technology.
