TODAY @ 1PM ET — Gen Z and U.S. Foreign Policy: Is This Where the Status Quo Meets its Match?

The young under-25 cohort — Generation Z — has only known the United States at war and at wars that have consistently failed. They grew up during an economic recession at home, and amid the War on Terrorism, only to come of age as we face the prospect of a new cold war with China. It turns out they have a lot to say on foreign policy and national security — but don’t expect them to respond as a monolith or reflect older, status quo thinking on the issues. 

Join a discussion co-sponsored by the John Quincy Adams Society and the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft that will explore how young people see the United States' role in the world — and how they might affect U.S. foreign policy in the years to come.
