Register

President Amy Gutmann and the SNF Paideia Program are co-sponsoring this year’s Silfen Forum on Civil Discourse in Uncivil Times.
The panel discussion, moderated by SNF Paideia Program’s Faculty Director Michael Delli Carpini, will feature The Honorable John Ellis “Jeb” Bush, Donna Brazile, Julián Castro, Peggy Noonan, and Ashley Parker.

Penn students, faculty, alumni, and staff who are interested in a post-event discussion are invited to join us for an active dialogue.

TableTalk Penn is a student-run organization dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations on a wide range of topics between members of the Penn community that would have never otherwise met. At TableTalk Penn events, facilitators guide small discussion groups about a chosen topic by asking thought-provoking questions. TableTalk Penn is committed to allowing participants to share their unique perspectives on issues in an open forum in which students can learn with, grow from, and understand one another. TableTalk Penn hopes to continue the conversation on the Silfen Forum and offer attendees with an opportunity to discuss their own ideas.

Registration is required.

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
