Individualism, materialism, and accelerating social change have eroded the idea of continuity and obligation across generations. Many young people naturally recoil from the world they have inherited—a world made and unmade by their elders. Is intergenerational solidarity possible in the face of new common challenges including climate change and the AI revolution?
Paul Elie will engage these questions with a panel of student participants (to be announced).
