CRN: Princeton Dean Slaughter on American values

Anne Marie Slaughter is the Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs at Princeton University, and a Professor of Politics. She’s also on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is the 2007 recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Award for International Law. Slaughter joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about her new book, The Idea That Is America: Keeping Faith With Our Values in A Dangerous World.

“America does stand for a set of values in the world, but those values have become distorted in many ways by the polices of this administration and previous administrations,” she said. “Our greatest leaders, our founders, our presidents, our poets, our song-writers, our folk heroes have talked about these values and understood them.”

Slaughter is also a native of Charlottesville, attended St. Anne Belfield’s, and grew up listening to WINA.
