Antidotes to Polarization: Rebuilding Trust in a Liberal Democracy
We are facing a crisis of trust in one another and our institutions, including higher education. How do we begin to restore that trust? Ben Klutsey, Director of Academic Outreach and the Director of the Program on Pluralism and Civil Exchange at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, will share his deep understanding of the role of pluralism and civil discourse in a liberal democracy, and will discuss how these ideals can help foster trust and mutual understanding.

Join us for this insightful discussion on building trust in deeply divided times, a continuation of our conference theme “Renewing Spaces of Knowledge and Trust.”
