SUMMARY:Is American Civic Culture the Source of Our Challenges?
DESCRIPTION:Join Chautauqua Institution in Washington\, D.C.\, or online\, for a special program hosted at the American Enterprise Institute and moderated by 2024–25 Chautauqua Perry Fellow in Democracy Melody Barnes. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary\, American democracy faces profound challenges in the form of declining trust in institutions and growing political and cultural divides. While policy solutions and institutional reforms are essential\, they are not enough. The strength of our democracy depends on a civic culture that sustains it. Can we foster a shared set of norms\, values\, and beliefs that empower our institutions and help us navigate our differences? \nPresented in partnership with AEI and the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy\, this program — titled “Is American Civic Culture the Source of Our Challenges” — will be a thought-provoking conversation on what it will take to renew the foundation of American democracy. Joining the panel discussion are E.J. Dionne\, senior fellow and W. Averell Harriman Chair in American Governance at Brookings; William A. Galston\, senior fellow and Ezra K. Zilkha Chair in Governance Studies at Brookings; Hahrie Han\, director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University; Yuval Levin\, director of Social\, Cultural\, and Constitutional Studies at AEI; and Christine Rosen\, senior fellow at AEI. Guiding the conversation will be Barnes\, who serves as executive director of the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy. \nVisit AEI’s website to register (for free) while seats are available\, or register to watch online. \nPanelists Dionne\, Rosen and Barnes are all previous presenters on lecture stages at Chautauqua; AEI and Brookings are Chautauqua’s program partners for the 2025 Week Four Chautauqua Lecture Series exploration of “The Future of the American Experiment.”
