Julian E. Zelizer at The New York Historical

Americans on both sides of the aisle blame the breakdown of our democracy—dysfunction, distrust, and disinformation—on the deep divide between our political parties. Yet, in In Defense of Partisanship, renowned professor Julian E. Zelizer argues that responsible partisanship could actually be good for American democracy if we structure it correctly.

“Contravening conventional wisdom, Zelizer offers a spirited defense of parties and partisanship.” —Frances Lee, Princeton University

Julian E. Zelizer will be in conversation with Margaret Hoover Robert H. Smith Auditorium at The New York Historical 170 Central Park West, NYC. In-person and livestream tickets available
