Need for Civility in Contentious Times In-Person

What does “civil discourse” mean in a contemporary society? Dr. Timothy Madigan, an associate professor of philosophy at St John Fisher,  will discuss whether or not today’s society is more contentious than previous ones; what factors may be contributing to a lack of civility; what strategies can be used to encourage greater mutual respect;  and why civil conversation is a necessary factor for a democratic community.
