American confidence in nearly all institutions, especially Congress, is low, and every citizen is affected by the divisions that prevent us from making progress on urgent problems.

Mark Wilson, director of the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities and Anna-Levi Chavis, a junior majoring in anthropology, will moderate the forum using the National Issues Forums issue guide “A House Divided: What Would We Have to Give Up to Get the Political System We Want?”

Participants are encouraged to receive an issue guide to read in advance by emailing mwilson@auburn.edu.

The event is free and refreshments will be provided.
