November 8th: Listening, Love, and Citizenship with the PACH team
LISTENING, LOVE, AND CITIZENSHIP
Aline and Leo Jacobsohn Foundation Lecture
Wednesday, November 8, 2017, 7:00 p.m.
On the one-year anniversary of the presidential election, join us for a panel discussion exploring how the United States became such a fractured society. What forces divided our country into separate enclaves, populated by citizens who read different newspapers and blogs, watch different television stations, and live in different neighborhoods and states? What are the basic skills of citizenship that have eroded in our country? How can we learn to listen to one another and love one another to become responsible citizens?
Join noted leaders, educators, and psychologists for this timely panel discussion, followed by an author reception and book signing.
