This afternoon, Wednesday, March 20, Canisius will kick off a monthly Community Conversation series.
The inaugural topic is Civil Discourse in an Era of Polarization: How do we have constructive civil conversations about polarizing issues?
The polarization of opinions, coupled with the speed and access of the digital age, has made it more difficult to keep our conversations civil in society today. In a democracy, learning to handle disagreement remains a fundamental responsibility. This must be developed not only theoretically and intellectually by understanding the democratic values of tolerance, pluralism, and respect for different views, it must be nurtured practically and routinely. Discussing controversial subjects respectfully is a learned skill.
We invite all students, faculty and staff to come together for a facilitated discussion of this topic.
This month’s discussion will be facilitated by Spencer Liecthy & Dr. Jean Gregorek.
