Civil Conversations: The Unexpected Rural Advantage
A panel discussion hosted by Patty Limerick
Despite commonly held ideas, the inhabitants of small towns and rural areas often span the ideological spectrum. Despite these differences, people manage to get along even in increasingly polarized times. By sharing their own stories of civil dialogues, our group of panelists will help debunk the myth of the close-minded rural dweller, demonstrating how living in small towns can provide rich soil for civility to grow.
Presented by the Western Folklife Center and the Humanities Center at Great Basin College with support from Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
