American life, and American politics, are increasingly divided: by party, by geography, by education. Red and blue are separating so completely that it’s getting harder to find common ground. Why is this happening? And what can we do to fix it?

Megan McArdle, an opinion columnist for the Washington Post since 2018, will discuss these questions on Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 198 of Statler Hall. This event, free and open to the public, will also be streamed. To participate online, please register here.
 
McArdle is “a wide-ranging writer, smart and funny, libertarian-leaning but not dogmatic. She has a knack for stating, judiciously and concisely, where things stand in America today,” said Barry Strauss, Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies, History and Classics, and Director of the Program on Freedom and Free Societies, which is sponsoring the talk.

David Guaspari works on communications for the Program on Freedom and Free Societies.
