On Thursday, October 19, 2023, Drs. Patrick Deneen and Vincent Phillip Muñoz from the University of Notre Dame joined us on our stage to share their contrasting perspectives on the American Founding. This conversation was moderated by Jeff Polet, director of the Ford Leadership Forum. It was a fascinating discussion that shed light on different interpretations of this pivotal moment in our nation’s history. We were honored to have such esteemed scholars with us, and their insights added valuable depth to our understanding of the American Founding.
