A Conversation with EJ Dionne

In 1981, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, wrote: “Of a sudden, the GOP has become a party of ideas.” Was he right? What is the status of ideas in American politics today? Please join E.J. Dionne, a political scientist and syndicated columnist with The Washington Post, for a discussion on these and other topics with Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Greg Weiner, Ph.D.

E.J. Dionne, Jr. is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, a syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, and university professor in the Foundations of Democracy and Culture at Georgetown University. A nationally known and respected commentator on politics, Dionne appears weekly on National Public Radio and regularly on MSNBC. He has also appeared on News Hour with Jim Lehrer and other PBS programs.
