A conversation on the direction of American politics with Sohrab Ahmari, op-ed editor, The New York Post, and Christine Emba, columnist, The Washington Post, moderated by Brandon Vaidyanathan, chair of the Department of Sociology at The Catholic University of America
Politics, instead of reflecting shared ideals and the desire for the common good, has become prey to ideologies that relentlessly fuel divisions. Recognizing the difference between “ideologies”—both on the right and on the left—and “ideals,” and being open to the impact of real events, seem critical in America today. Speakers will dialogue on the direction of American politics and which ideals, if any, can or should still guide political action today.
