The Leadership Series: Conversation with Colin Woodard

American Promise

Location: Online

Join us for this compelling dialogue with renowned historian Colin Woodard as we explore the “history of now.”

Woodard brings to the forefront essential context needed to comprehend the events and conditions shaping our nation. His latest work, “Union,” delves into the contentious topic of national unity, questioning if it is merely a myth forged and contested in the nineteenth century—and how that conflict that still impacts us today.

The media and politicians tell us we are a horribly divided country, hopelessly locked in a doom loop of distrust and mutual hatred. However, there’s one thing that units us all – a deep concern about the influence of money in politics. This issue transcends partisan lines, and serves as a rare platform for cross-party dialogue and structural change.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with Colin Woodard as he discusses the origins of American polarization and suggests ways forward.
