Tolerance in an Era of Divisions

Overview

In the spirit of sustaining free, tolerant, and pluralistic societies, the Institute for Humane Studies invites an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore the importance of tolerance as a democratic value, especially as it relates to affective polarization. This includes thinking through how tolerance can play a role in sustaining democracy in the midst of partisan divisions. 

Join us online for a panel discussion followed by breakout conversations where you can share your expertise and tackle pressing questions with other scholars. This event takes place online on November 28, beginning with opening remarks at 12:00 PM Eastern Time and concluding with breakout discussions from 12:15 to 1:00 PM.

Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on tolerance. 

Speaker

James Tilley, University of Oxford
