SOLD OUT! Crisis is a Time for Renewal, An "Independent Thinkers" Conversation with Rep. Ro Khanna

Event is SOLD OUT! How does America move past this fractious, furious juncture? Are there ways to bridge the divide and lessen the acrimony between rival political camps? Please join Frank Bruni for a candid, wide-ranging conversation - part of his "Independent Thinkers" series of events - with U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, an increasingly prominent voice in the Democratic Party, a fierce advocate for a new generation of leadership and a possible contender for the party's 2028 presidential nomination. Ro Khanna is in his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving the California congressional district that includes Silicon Valley. He was a national co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign. And he's a leading Democratic spokesperson who has appeared frequently on Fox News as well as MSNBC. Frank Bruni teaches at Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy as part of the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy. He's also a longtime writer for The New York Times and the author of five bestselling books, including, most recently, The Age of Grievance, about the sources of - and remedies for - America's political divisions. Frank's "Independent Thinkers" conversations with public figures who defy reductive political labels are part of the Provost's Initiative on Pluralism, Free Inquiry and Belonging.
