At a moment when law, statecraft, and civic institutions are being remade under pressure, few people have crossed disciplinary and institutional divides as fluidly as Tino Cuéllar. He currently leads America’s oldest foreign policy think tank and serves on the governing boards of Harvard University and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. He is also a member of Anthropic’s Long Term Benefit Trust. Previously he served as a justice of the Supreme Court of California and was a professor at Stanford Law School. This summer, he returns to Stanford to lead the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program.

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation on what it takes to lead public-purpose institutions through this moment of compounding global crises; why the hardest problems of our era refuse to sit neatly within law, economics, or political science alone; and how a life that began in Matamoros and unfolded across both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border shapes Tino’s distinctive vision for the work ahead.
