Democracy in America: Tocqueville

Join us to explore Alexis de Tocqueville's penetrating insights into democracy and modern life.

We'll grapple with questions that resonate as powerfully today as in the 1830s: How do equality and liberty coexist—or conflict?
Can democracy foster isolation and conformity? What role do civic groups, faith communities, and local institutions play in sustaining freedom?

Bring your curiosity and willingness to engage. Whether you're thinking about social fragmentation, the pressure to conform, or what holds democratic societies together, Tocqueville offers a sharp lens for understanding our moment.

Come ready to question, debate, and wrestle with both the promise and the perils of democratic society.
