The 2024-25 Jepson Leadership Forum presents E Pluribus Unum? The Divisions Testing American Democracy. We invite scholars and experts to discuss how division and polarization affect American democracy. Together, we will explore how and why divisions have manifested historically and currently in the United States, focusing on their impact on justice, education, politics, culture, technology, and class. Are division and the struggle to find common ground making us stronger or tearing us apart? Join us as we search for answers to this and other questions.
