American Institutions and the American Family: A Conversation with Yuval Levin

On February 23, Capita and American Compass hosted a robust conversation drawing from Yuval Levin's recent book on American institutions, with special attention to the impact those institutions have on the American family.

Questions up for discussion included:

  • How are our sclerotic institutions shaping the experience of American families?

  • How are they responding to dramatic changes in family life?

  • How should institutions be shaped in order to facilitate the flourishing of our families?

In addition to Dr. Levin, speakers included:

  • Wells King, Research Director, American Compass

  • Ian Marcus Corbin, Senior Fellow, Capita

  • Christine Emba, columnist and editor, The Washington Post
