This seminar series from Pollster, Speaker, Commentator, and Founding Partner at Echelon Insights Kristen Soltis Anderson, featuring Future Caucus President and CEO Layla Zaidane and prominent journalist on Gen-Z issues Rachel Janfaza, explores how emerging generations are reshaping the foundations of trust, leadership, and participation in public life. In a moment marked by polarization and rapid change, young Americans are creating new spaces for dialogue, empathy, and collective action. This series brings together students, organizers, and civic innovators to examine how listening—across differences and beyond institutions—can rebuild connection and renew the promise of democratic culture. Cosponsored by the American University School of Public Affairs.
