Hosted as part of the Hauenstein Center’s Common Ground Initiative, the annual Progressive / Conservative Summit brings together leading thinkers and writers of different intellectual traditions and political persuasions to discuss how the collision of progressivism and conservatism shapes, has shaped, and will continue to shape our national identity. The Summit offers an environment in which civility and intellectual curiosity can thrive, welcoming all those eager to seek actionable common ground on the issues facing our polarized democracy.
