In an era of political polarization and often vitriolic public discourse, educational institutions are uniquely positioned to create countercultures in which civil discourse can thrive. In this session, we’ll explore what civil discourse can look and sound like in educational institutions and consider what educators can do to create cultures in which it is possible to disagree, with mutual respect and compassion, about key issues facing our society.
Dr. Sivan Zakai, Sara S. Lee Associate Professor of Jewish Education, will lead this lecture.
