Join Patty Limerick, director of the Center of the American West, and , director of the Center for Humanities & the Arts, as they talk about what it means to disagree. The partisan politics and extreme divisiveness of our current society have made many of us wary about entering into provocative subjects. How do we maintain unity when we confront divided opinions? How can we respect one another while vehemently debating topics we feel passionate about? Is it possible to separate the person from the provocation? Patty and Jennifer will discuss all of this and, if we are lucky, even disagree with one another. Throughout the dialogue (and for many years to come!), they will model civil disagreement, robust curiosity about one another’s positions, and respectful friendship. Co-sponsored by the Center for Humanities & the Arts.
