Each year the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics hosts its Civil Discourse Series, which brings together panelists with different perspectives for a conversation on a timely public issue. This year we ask: What ties a nation together? We’ll explore creeds, cultures, institutions, and practices that create—or strain—social cohesion. Rather than a debate on border policy, we’re interested in the deeper question of what citizens must share, if anything, to form a common democratic civic life.
Our goal is to offer students and the wider community a live example of thoughtful disagreement—how strong differences can be aired and examined respectfully and substantively.
This year's event will feature as panelists Dr. Desireé Melonas, Dr. Harris Mylonas, General Lori J. Robinson, USAF, Ret., and Dr. Christine Rosen moderated by Professor Nien-hê Hsieh, the Kim B. Clark Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School.
Please Note: Registration is required for attendance. If you are an HUID holder, please bring your HUID to show to security. If you are a non-HUID holder, please be prepared to verify your registration at the door.
This event will also be available via livestream on YouTube.
