SUMMARY:The Virtues of Civil Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Renewing Our Civic Culture is an initiative designed to demonstrate how respectful dialogue across differing perspectives can help to bridge divides\, reduce affective polarization\, and foster empathy. \n“The Virtues of Civil Discourse” Lecture and Dinner\nFriday\, October 17\, 4:00pm–7:30pm\, UWM Student Union Ballroom \n4:00-5:30pm — Guest lecture by Dr. Jed Atkins\, Dean of the School of Civic Life and Leadership at UNC-Chapel Hill \n5:30–7:30pm — Dinner with facilitated dialogue at each table \nAmerica is polarizing faster than any other modern democracy—and public trust in our universities is low. Yet our colleges and universities are especially well-positioned to offer a civic education that equips students to work through difference and arrive at better solutions to problems. In this timely and thought-provoking talk\, Dean Atkins explores how civic discourse—the practice of deliberating with others as fellow members of a shared community—can be taught and practiced on campus. Drawing from real-life stories in the classroom and beyond\, he shows how higher education may equip students to live\, learn\, and listen as members of our pluralistic democracy. \nRegister for event \nThis event is made possible by a grant from the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership. It is free and open to the public. Live streaming will be available. \nFor more details\, visit Renewing Our Civic Culture resource page.
