Aurora Forum | Education for Citizenship Series | Loyalty: Virtue or Vice?

This conversation with Richard T. Ford of Stanford Law School, Glenn Loury of Brown University, and Eamonn Callan of the Stanford School of Education concerns loyalty and the limits to which it might be subject when viewed in particular historical, social, and political contexts. What roles does loyalty play in forming personal and social identities? What are the connections between loyalty, patriotism, and pride? Is there greater agreement that disloyalty is a vice than that loyalty is a virtue? With class and racial inequalities remaining deeply embedded in our social, political, and economic structures, what is the place of loyalty in America today?
