Future of Conservatism
Host: SNF Paideia Program, Red and Blue Exchange
How should conservatism deal with Trumpism? What are the core principles that distinguish it from Trumpism? If Trumpism retains its hold on the Republican Party, does conservatism have a home there? What conservative answers for America’s challenges got muffled or distorted during the Trump years? The Red and Blue Exchange invites you to a conversation with three people who’ve spent the last four years living those questions – as a top GOP pollster, a leading Never Trumper journalist and a White House aide.

Faith & Reason: A Revolution of Hearts
Host: The Collegium Institute
If restoring society must start with us, then it needs to start with the heart. How can we understand ‘heart’ as an anthropological and theological category without falling into sentimentalism? What is needed for a change of heart? What kind of society would a change of heart bring about? Join the Collegium Institute for this next module of the Faith & Reason series as we engage with thinkers like Martin Luther King Jr, Dorothy Day, St. Augustine, Corita Kent, and others to delve into this vital conversation.
