How do we build thriving, cohesive communities in a world defined by the constant movement of people? Interfaith America Founder Eboo Patel joins IAJS Faculty Director Tomás Jiménez for a conversation that explores what pluralism looks like in practice: at the city level, in local institutions, and in this political moment. They also discuss what the "builder" framework demands of civic leaders, universities, researchers, and communities alike.
