The Role of Civility and Kindness
2024-10-30 14:00 - 15:00 | Gault Fine Arts Auditorium
Join us for a thought-provoking community discussion on the role of kindness and civility in our everyday lives. In a time when these values seem to be diminishing, we face a growing culture of division and a “win-at-all-cost” mentality. This shift has impacted not only politics but all areas of modern life. As we navigate these challenges, exploring the importance of kindness and civility is crucial to preserving our civil liberties and democratic principles.

UT Southern is stepping up to lead this important conversation. We are honored to host Dr. Josh Dunn, Executive Director of the Institute of American Civics at the Howard Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Dr. William Lyons, Associate Director for Community Outreach and Professor Emeritus of Political Science. Together, they will guide us through a discussion on the historical role of civility in public policy and civil debate.
