The 2024-25 Jepson Leadership Forum at the University of Richmond invites scholars and experts to discuss how division and polarization affect American democracy. The forum will explore how and why divisions have manifested historically and currently in the United States, focusing on their impact on justice, education, politics, culture, technology, and class. 

Are division and the struggle to find common ground making Americans stronger or tearing them apart? A search for answers to this and other questions will be addressed
