The social crisis Americans are living through has been accompanied by a collapse of trust in institutions. But what does it mean to trust an institution? Join Yuval Levin, Director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Insti- tute (AEI) and the editor of National Affairs as he tries to answer the questions: How can we rebuild this trust? And, how could recommitting to some of the core institutions of American life help us navigate an age of polarization, division, and populist upheaval?  A former White House and congressional staffer, Dr. Levin's essays and articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and elsewhere. He is the co-editor (with Thomas Merrill and Adam Schulman) of Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver: Honoring the Work of Leon R. Kass (2010); and, most recently, of A Time to Build: From Family and Communi- ty to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the American Dream (2020). His PhD is from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and his BA is from American University.
