American Public Square

This is a partnered event hosted by the National Humanities Center, American Public Square, and the National WWI Museum and Memorial

National WWI Museum and Memorial

Based on the political causes they've championed as public intellectuals, you'd expect philosopher Cornel West and legal scholar Robert George to bitterly dislike one another. But nothing could be further from the truth. The progressive West and conservative George are good friends, united by their interest in great thinkers from the past and by their commitment to lively, respectful debate on the questions that matter most. For this "In Conversation" event, they will be joined by award-winning journalist Jane Ferguson, whose experiences as a decorated war correspondent in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan have made her keenly aware of how entrenched disagreement can lead to violence and unspeakable suffering. *Presented by the National Humanities Center in partnership with American Public Square and the National WWI Museum and Memorial.
