The President’s Committee on Diversity Affairs (PCDA) is excited to announce the launch of a new series, “Everyday Encounters,” aimed at fostering meaningful conversations within the Lawrence community. These gatherings will focus on bridging divides across religion, race, gender, ideologies, and class through critically engaged, respectful dialogue.
In addition, PCDA will share resources to guide these conversations, starting with articles from Stanford University and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation. These readings offer practical insights for navigating difficult discussions.
We have three events scheduled:
- Thursday, Oct. 24 | “How to Disagree Without Getting Cancelled”
- Thursday, Nov. 7 | “The Election Happened. Now What?”
- Wednesday, Jan. 15 | “Democracy and Disagreement”
