Description
In Dr. Bramen's Killeen Chair Lecture, she considers two proposals for how to heal our fractured and divided national discourse: one that calls for greater civility of debate in hopes of revitalizing democracy, and one that instead embraces an attitude of defiance and rage at past and present injustice. Arguing that a key difference between these two proposals is their differing attitude toward the possibility of persuasion, Dr. Bramen promises that exploring these two responses will better help us understand how our words can -- and should -- be used at this pivotal moment of history.
