Political Polarization with Bill Kristol

The Adam Smith Society welcomes Bill Kristol to Rice Business. Bill will be discussing Political Polarization, and the effects it is having on the U.S. political process. Join us for lunch and an engaging conversation.

Before coming to Washington, Mr. Kristol taught politics at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. He received his undergraduate degree and his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
