  • Unleashing the Gen Z Youthquake

    At this week's Round Table, Inica, Julianna, Olivia, and Riya spoke with Sam Abrams, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on questions of related civic and political culture and American ideologies; a professor of politics and social science at Sarah Lawrence College; and a faculty fellow with New York University’s Center for Advanced Social Science Research. We had a fascinating discussion about cross-partisanship--what gets in the way of it, what’s necessary to foster it, and what benefits it can yield. We hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!

    And hey, check out some of Professor Abrams' recent articles:
