FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: AEI’s Director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies Yuval Levin announced today the inauguration of a new lecture series, titled “E Pluribus Unum: Sources of our Unity.” The series is a program of the Robert P. George Initiative on Faith, Ethics, and Public Policy, and will be jointly sponsored by AEI and the University of Dallas.
The subject will be finding unity across lines of difference in our society—left and right, religious and secular, urban and rural, and more. The series will run for a year, with lectures twice a quarter.
Each lecture will feature a conversation between Robert George, Yuval Levin, or University of Dallas president Dr. Tom Hibbs and prominent figures in our public life, either discussing some facet of the challenge of unity or embodying different views and speaking about what divides and unifies them.
Dr. Hibbs said, “I am delighted that UD will be collaborating with Princeton’s Robert George and AEI’s Yuval Levin, two brilliant philosophers and leading public intellectuals, on this most needed of initiatives.” Levin commented, “Our subject, finding unity amid enduring differences, couldn’t be more timely, and in Robert George and the University of Dallas we at AEI have the perfect partners to take it up.”
The first event in the series will be held on September 9 at 1pm, and will be an online conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Sacks about his new book Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times. Levin will moderate a conversation between Rabbi Sacks and Robert George.
