Political Moderation in Divided Times

Philadelphia, PA · Event date: September 4, 2024 · Event time:3:00–7:00 PM ET

Overview

Responding to ongoing concerns about rising polarization, IHS is convening an interdisciplinary group of scholars to examine partisanship among non-elites and to explore the value of political moderation as a virtue in divided times.

We invite you to address these pressing questions with others attending the 2024 American Political Science Association (APSA) Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The symposium takes place on September 4, 2024—the day before the APSA conference starts—beginning with opening remarks at 3:00 PM and concluding at 7:00 PM after a networking reception.

Please come prepared to share your ideas for future academic and professional contributions on political moderation in divided times. For your full participation, IHS will provide a $300 travel stipend.
