A Nation in Conversation: University President Michael S. Roth with Khalil Gibran Muhammad at The NY Historical
From the Revolution to today, universities have long served as a stage for some of the most fundamental debates about American values and society. In this conversation, Wesleyan University president Michael S. Roth and The New York Historical’s scholar-trustee Khalil Gibran Muhammad examine the context of our current moment, weighing the complex evolution of campus culture wars against the parallel changes in American politics. As national tensions rise around the issues of diversity and free speech, they explore the link between academic freedom and American democracy.
Michael S. Roth is an author and the president of Wesleyan University. Khalil Gibran Muhammad (moderator), a trustee of The New York Historical, is Ford Foundation Professor of History, Race, and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and a contributing writer to the 1619 Project.
