About this listen

In this episode of Tocqueville Talks, Director Brent Nelsen hosts Tocqueville Fellows Nathan, Maddie, and Sim for a candid conversation about civic dialogue, leadership, and what they’ve learned about democracy by practicing it.

Why do students crave real conversation in an age of outrage? What happens when disagreement strengthens friendship instead of destroying it? And can the habits of citizenship still be learned?

Drawing on Tocqueville’s insights and Yuval Levin’s call for Americans to act together without thinking alike, the Fellows reflect on their experiences building community, leading peers, and navigating disagreement with humility and courage.
