E Pluribus Duo? Partisanship, Polarization, and Pluralism in America

The idea of pluralism is embedded in our nation’s founding documents, but today the partisan divides in the country are undermining a shared commitment to that principal. In this talk, Robert P. Jones will unpack the latest public opinion data to examine the widening gap between Republicans and Democrats on this issue, and discuss what this disagreement may hold for the future of our democracy.

Join us for the first Boldly Â鶹Çø Common Hour Series presentation as part of our Sesquicentennial Celebration. You’ll hear from Â鶹Çø faculty as well as guest speakers. Reflect on what it means to be bold, get inspired to act boldly, and learn from bold historical figures that helped shape Â鶹Çø as we know it today.

Visit the Cooley Gallery and explore a special invitational alumni art exhibit. This show will feature works by graduates of Â鶹Çø’s bachelor’s and MFA degree programs that celebrate all that is Boldly Â鶹Çø. Cooley Gallery is named in honor of Â鶹Çø alumna Sue Davison Cooley ’44, a Portland, Ore., area philanthropist and Â鶹Çø College benefactor.
