This conversation happened on October 13, 2021 at noon PDT. Watch a replay below.

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.

Our panelists include (click the photos below for full biographical detail):

Moderated by Eloisa Gordon-Mora, University Diversity and Inclusion Officer, at the University of Nevada, Reno, this conversation features Margaret Crowley (attorney and owner of Crowley Mediation where she is a mediator/conflict resolution trainer), David Gamble, Jr. (a Deputy Public Defender with the Washoe County Public Defender’s Office), Natalie Van Hoozer (Spanish/English reporter and community engagement coordinator for KUNR Public Radio and coordinator of One Small Step), and Katharine Schweitzer, PhD (senior business intelligence analyst at Renown Health and a 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.

This conversation program is an extension of the One Small Step program hosted by KUNR and Noticiero Móvil in Reno. More information here.
