<p> </p>

<p>Shrinking trust in institutions, weakening civic participation and intensifying polarization are destabilizing advanced democracies worldwide. As the social norms that unite communities erode, so too does confidence in government.</p>

<p>The Right Honorable Gordon Brown, former prime minister of the United Kingdom and chair of the new Center for Civic Society at the USC Schaeffer Institute, will discuss emerging research that identifies practical, evidence-based strategies for restoring civic life and strengthening democratic values in this conversation with USC Provost Andrew Guzman. Brown, who is also the Ronald L. Steel Chair in Foreign Policy and International Affairs, will draw on lessons from his career in public service to reflect on how policymakers and civic institutions can bridge political, social and ideological divides to foster common ground.</p>
