About The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy
The Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy was established with the premise that the country has become disconnected from evidence. The project seeks to supplant ideology with fact, and reintroduce evidence into the national conversation, pointing to solutions beyond reflexive ideological claims. We explore the origins, aspirations, and impact as it bridges divides and cultivates unity.
