TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4 at 7:30 PM
Election 2016 is shaping up to be one of the nastiest in recent memory. Insults are flying, distortions are rampant, and the tone is harsh. Voters are frustrated and angry, and both presidential candidates have record-high disapproval ratings. Is political civility possible in such a context? Dr. Amy E. Black, Professor of Political Science at Wheaton College (IL), will discuss some of the roots of the current election turmoil and offer thoughts for seeking more civil and constructive political dialogue.
