By Patricia Pasquale, SLC Marketing & Communications
Jan. 8, 2025: As part of Sarah Lawrence College’s Building Bridges event series, President Cristle Collins Judd invites you to join her for a timely conversation with New York Times columnist, podcast host, and author Ezra Klein focused on how we can collectively move beyond polarization toward shared solutions. This event is free and open to the public, and guests may attend in person on campus or online via Zoom. Registration is required. CLICK HERE to register.
Using his trademark depth of policy knowledge and academic research, Ezra Klein gives audiences a systematic look at why American politics is so polarized, and what that polarization has done to electoral institutions, policymaking, and the media.
Klein is a columnist on The New York Times opinion page, host of the award-winning “Ezra Klein Show” podcast, and author of two bestselling books: Why We’re Polarized and his latest, Abundance, which explores how America can break through stagnation and rekindle a sense of shared national possibility. Before that, he was the founder, editor-in-chief, and then editor-at-large of Vox, the explanatory news platform, which has won a bevy of awards and now reaches more than 50 million people each month. He was also a creator and executive producer of its hit Netflix show, “Explained”.
Prior to starting Vox, Klein founded and led The Washington Post’s Wonkblog. He is also a columnist for Bloomberg News and a regular contributor/policy analyst for MSNBC. The Economist named him one of the “Minds of the Moment.” In 2011, TIME named his blog one of the 25 best financial blogs and the Society of American Business Editors and Writers named Klein as their 2011 Opinion Columnist of the Year. In 2012, GQ named him to their 50 Most Powerful People in Washington list and Esquire named him to their 79 Things We Can All Agree On list, saying, “Ezra Klein gives economics columnists a good name.”
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required; guests may choose to attend in person on campus or online via Zoom.

This event is sponsored by the Margaret Shepherd ’69 Presidential Fund and the Social Sciences Faculty Group through the Donald C. Samuel Fund for Economics and Politics.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
