Register (In-Person Only) How have centuries-old regional differences brought American democracy to the brink of collapse? In his new book Nations Apart, author and Tufts alumnus Colin Woodard shows how colonial era settlement patterns and the cultural geography they left behind are at the root of our political polarization, economic inequality, public health crises, and democratic collapse. Join a conversation with Woodard as he shares groundbreaking original data and historical insights to help us understand why Americans are so divided on many hot button issues, how geographic fissures have been exploited, and how we might bridge the rifts that divide us. Registration required. Light refreshments will be provided. All are welcome.

Colin Woodard, A91, a New York Times bestselling author, historian and award-winning journalist, is director of Nationhood Lab Salve Regina University’s Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy. He is the author of seven books that have been translated into a dozen foreign languages and inspired an NBC television drama. A longtime foreign correspondent, he reported from more than 50 countries on seven continents and, as an investigative reporter at Maine’s Portland Press Herald, won a 2012 George Polk Award and was a finalist for a 2016 Pulitzer Prize.

What happens when we bring Tufts civic life together in one room—ideas, stories, and futures all in conversation? Join us as we close out this semester’s Civic Life Lunch series with a special reception celebrating our theme: From Tufts, Forward. Over the past few months, we’ve explored stories of impact, creativity, and civic engagement across Tufts and beyond. Now, we’re gathering to celebrate what we’ve learned and look ahead to what’s next. The reception will feature an interactive showcase of student work, passions, and projects shaping civic life today. You’ll also have the chance to share your feedback and ideas for the future of the series.
Come for the food, stay for the ideas, and leave with new connections across the Tufts community, all united by a commitment to moving civic life forward. Students interested in having their work highlighted can reach out to Shanley Daly, shanley.daly@tufts.edu. Registration required. All are welcome.
This event is part of From Tufts, Forward, our semester-long Civic Life Lunch theme exploring how the Tufts community carries ideas forward on campus, in local communities, and far beyond. Each event reflects the momentum we create together through creativity, dialogue, and civic responsibility, and how that momentum extends into lasting impact.
