Critical Conversation: Civility

Critical Conversations is a monthly series sponsored by the Office of the Provost in which a panel of experts thoughtfully engage in "Critical Conversations" about important cross-disciplinary and often controversial topics. Each panel will cover several themes within the topic, such as historical, legal, societal, ethical, and medical contexts. This is followed by a rich Q&A session interaction with the audience. Provost and Executive Vice President Joy K. Ward will serve as the moderator. 

**Note: This year, we're extending the conversation! We're keeping the lunchtime format you love, but extending the event time by 30 minutes to allow for more discussion.

Critical Conversations are open to ALL members of the CWRU community. Join us!
