While having tough conversations, is it possible to find reasonable compromise? Do you get the sense that people do not know how to listen to one another? With a desire to build stronger communities and forge a path during an uncertain time, how do we hear what people have to say, and how do we really understand what they are saying? Join Nevada Humanities as we grapple with these and other questions.
Moderated by Eloisa Gordon-Mora, University Diversity and Inclusion Officer, at the University of Nevada, Reno, this conversation features Margaret Crowley (mediator/conflict resolution trainer), David Gamble, Jr. (Deputy Public Defender), Natalie Van Hoozer (journalist and coordinator of One Small Step), and Katharine Schweitzer, PhD (political philosopher with a specialty in constitutional compromise) as we discuss the critical skills we all need to be better listeners, effective communicators, and good citizens in our communities.
