DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED\n\nAt the center of many recent de
 bates about nationalism has been an implicit idea of the American national
  character and its implications. But what exactly is a national character?
  What forms can it take? And what has been distinct about America’s char
 acter in ways that might inform contemporary statesmanship and citizenship
 ?\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nYuval Levin is the director of Social\, Cultural
 \, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and the
  editor of National Affairs. He is a contributing editor to National Revie
 w and his essays and articles have appeared in numerous publications inclu
 ding The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, 
 Commentary\, and many others. He is the author\, most recently\, of A Time
  to Build: From family and community to Congress and the campus\, how reco
 mmitting to our institutions could revive the American dream. He has been 
 a member of the White House domestic policy staff (under President George 
 W. Bush) and a congressional staffer. He holds a PhD from the Committee on
  Social Thought at the University of Chicago.\n\nAbout the Series\n\nThe B
 enson Center promotes critical reflection on the distinctive traditions an
 d political perspectives that characterize Western civilization. It encour
 ages residents of Colorado and the United States to more fully understand 
 and appreciate their past\, their future and a free and creative American 
 society within an international environment. Conservative Thought and Poli
 cy Guest Speakers bring a unique perspective as guests of the Visiting Sch
 olar in Conservative Thought and Policy program. This year’s series\, th
 e “American National Character Project” expands on the Benson Center
 ’s 2019-20 theme\, American Identities.\n\nThe Founding generation recog
 nized the importance of cultivating a national character\, by which they m
 eant the formation of “a people” dedicated to the principles of the Am
 erican Revolution and the great experiment in self-government. Today\, Ame
 ricans are fragmented\, disunited and unclear about what\, if anything\, t
 hey hold in common. The American National Character Project seeks to explo
 re and identify principles and purposes that Americans do or might in the 
 future share\, and to discover how to provide a way forward for republican
  self-governance in America.
