Age of Fracture – March 28

Elon's Phi Beta Kappa Chapter invites Daniel T. Rodgers for guest lecture in LaRose Digital Theatre, Koury Business Center at 5 p.m.

 “Fracture” now seems everywhere in our contemporary United States: in social relations, partisan politics, growing economic inequalities and enduring culture “wars.”

This lecture, based on a Bancroft-Prize-winning book of this title, will tell the story of how that happened and what it means for our present moment. An historian of American culture and ideas, Rodgers is the author of four award-winning books and has written articles ranging from American exceptionalism, to the career of “republicanism,” to the election of 2000. He is the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History Emeritus at Princeton University.
