Tisch College Spring Speakers: “United States at 250: What’s next for American democracy?”
Tisch College’s spring speakers and events are here! We’re excited to host leaders like former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, CNN’s Audie Cornish, best-selling author John Green, historian and author Jill Lepore, Syrian journalist Lina Chawaf, and some of Tisch’s very own superstars: Peter Levine, Jonathan Tirrell, Sam Fried, and Tisch/Tufts alumnus Audrey Carver. You can view the full lineup of spring opportunities on our website.
Our 2026 events will be centered on a common theme: the United States at 250: What’s next for American democracy? Our Civic Life Lunches this spring will build on that theme by focusing on Everyday Democracy, with interactive sessions on power mapping, modeling talking across difference, and more.
Help us share our spring events and speakers widely with your networks, students and colleagues! Please like and share our recent posts on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X and Facebook, and stay tuned for a spring events flyer we will send around in the coming days. If you need individual event flyers or promotional materials, reach out to Jess or Shanley. You can also access our grid of faces image in various sizes and formats here.
