The next Boe Forum on Public Affairs features New York Times opinion columnist and PBS NewsHour commentator David Brooks.

Augustana University and the Center for Western Studies will host the bestselling author March 19 in the Elmen Center at 7:30 p.m.

This year’s forum is titled "America at the Crossroads: The Rule of Law and the Future of Democracy." It follows a statewide poll suggesting South Dakotans are concerned about democracy and election result validity.

It also comes just two weeks after Super Tuesday, when most states hold primary elections and caucuses.

Augustana University said tickets for the event are free and will be available in the coming weeks. Updates and more information can be found on the Augustana Boe Forum web page.

Krystal is the local host of "All Things Considered."
