The Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law Religion and Public Policy welcomes Yuval Levin, director of social, cultural and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy, for a discussion about his most recent book, American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation – and Could Again (Basic Books, 2024). The founder and editor of National Affairs, Levin is also a senior editor at The New Atlantis, a contributing editor at National Review, and a contributing opinion writer at New York Times.
At AEI, Levin and scholars in the social, cultural and constitutional studies research division study the foundations of self-government and the future of law, regulation, and constitutionalism. They also explore the state of American social, political and civic life, focusing on the preconditions necessary for family, community and country to flourish.
Levin served as a member of the White House domestic policy staff under President George W. Bush. He was also executive director of the President’s Council on Bioethics and a congressional staffer at the member, committee and leadership levels.
In addition to being interviewed frequently on radio and television, Levin has published essays and articles in numerous publications, including Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Commentary. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy. He holds an MA and PhD from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
