Carnegie Connects: A Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson
Tue, January 18th, 2022
Live online
2022 may well be the most crucial year in America's history, Boston College American historian Heather Cox Richardson argues. A surging pandemic; runaway inflation; the tribalization of American politics, a battle over voting rights, and upcoming midterms presage a tumultuous year ahead. How will the Biden Administration deal with these challenges?
Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Professor Richardson to discuss the state and fate of the American Republic.
