The Biden Institute is honored to welcome Senator Sarah McBride, Senator Brian Pettyjohn, Representative Michael Smith, and Representative Madinah Wilson-Anton to campus to discuss how the Delaware Legislature has welcomed civil discourse in the midst of a national polar division.
Washington, D.C., is more polarized now than seemingly ever before, all while young people lose interest in politics and faith in our political institutions. Delaware has a reputation for being the most bi-partisan state legislature in the country—colloquially, this is known as “The Delaware Way.”
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Ithaca Initiative is a program designed to increase the quality and quantity of civil discourse and civic engagement by instilling core democratic values on and beyond UD's campus.
Join us for a conversation on the importance of civil discourse in state public policy and how effective cross-party communication is key to accomplishing goals.
