# Cato Institute New York City Reception 2024: *The Anxious Generation* and Q&A 

What role does public policy play? Is this issue best left to civil society? Emily Ekins, Cato vice president and director of polling, has previously collaborated with Haidt and will join him to discuss his theories and the long-term consequences for civil society and politics. Ekins will also cover themes from Haidt’s past work, including [*The Coddling of the American Mind*](https://www.thecoddling.com/) and [*The Righteous Mind*](https://righteousmind.com/), to assess issues like political polarization, the culture wars, and viewpoint diversity on college campuses.
