What’s the path for America out of gridlock and polarization?  Is it uncompromising dedication to one’s values, or a new bid for dialogue and understanding?  David French, founder of The Dispatch and one of evangelical conservatism’s most compelling voices, will give his answer during this online event co-sponsored by the Red and Blue Exchange and SNF Paideia Program. The evening will include a dialogue between French and a group of Penn students, and a chance for the audience to share its questions and comments with him.

Sponsored by the Gamba Family Red and Blue Exchange, an initiative of the SNF Paideia Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Made possible by the Gamba Family and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
