Civil Discourse in a Polarized World

Overview

The Institute for Humane Studies invites applications for “Civil Discourse in a Polarized World,” an interdisciplinary conversation examining challenges to civil discourse in today’s polarized environment, as well as opportunities to leverage civil discourse to reduce polarization and rebuild trust. 

Join us online for a seminar-style conversation led by Andrew J. Cohen, professor of philosophy at Georgia State University. Participants will interact with a small group of scholars for an in-depth discussion.  

While the conversation will be open-ended, please come prepared to discuss the following three readings. The first two are available through most academic libraries. IHS will provide you with a copy of the third selection. 

The conversation will take place online on Thursday, May 30, beginning with opening remarks at 4:30 PM Eastern Time and concluding at 6:00 PM. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
