Bringing Americans together across our diverse cultural landscape For everyday inquiry, expression and discourse

At Tusk & Quill, our aspiration is to be a place of vibrant discourse and a healthy addition to the thoughtful, young American’s information diet. We don’t claim to have all the answers; our aim is to explore questions of interest in a way that will be enlightening and constructive through a website that:


Provides a healthy space for an exchange of ideas

In an increasingly polarized world, Tusk & Quill strives to be a haven for good-faith curiosity.

That means it is a platform where there is no place for toxic language and sensationalism is seen as counterproductive. Instead, an unyielding focus on the subject matter, unfolding its various angles and nuances, is the most important thing.

As our diverse contributors weigh in on contemporary topics, we believe both access to those subconscious cultural intuitions and the conversations between them will go a long way in enabling collective understanding and more effective problem solving.

Consciously works to enrich American life

Everything we do at Tusk & Quill is with an eye to contributing to a healthier climate of ideas, which we believe is instrumental to creating a healthier society.

Accordingly, our content strategy is designed to encourage balanced thinking, develop heightened local awareness, explore the nature of health itself, and celebrate high-agency community-orientedness.

Our Goal

Our segments are thoughtfully crafted to discover what it means to live well in today’s America, individually and together

  1. In our Discourse segment, we explore topics through informed arguments and debate.

  2. The Culture segment seeks to develop an understanding of the many dimensions of America - including its natural geography, industry, social trends, etc.- and how they shape our experience.

  3. The Well-Being segment features a collection of diverse approaches to studying the nature of health at various levels.

  4. In the Community segment, we celebrate high-agency community-orientedness by profiling inspiring projects, people, and ideas.
