About the Series

In a series of six panels, this day-long event brought together people from diverse points of view to model the art of "principled disagreement" and talk freely and honestly about: loss of trust in the institutions that guard our Constitution, the hardening of American borders, America's responsibility to provide global security, whether diversity is a glue or dividing line for nations, and free speech, liberty and the public interest.

All democracies have one thing in common: a need for legitimacy, which is ultimately derived from the free and informed consent of the people. This program is part of the Shades of Red and Blue series, presented by The Ethics Centre, and co-sponsored by Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs and Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program. It features Salman Rushdie, Leon Botstein, Matthew Continetti, Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, and Lachlan Markay.
