Searching for a Reconfigured We the People: Embracing Counter Narratives for Just and Civil Discourse

  • Tuesday, April 10, 2018
  • 6:30 PM–7:30 PM

In a period of polarized political discourse, are there ways to share our stories and hear the stories of others that support more inclusive communities?

David Anderson Hooker, a community builder with more than 30 years of experience all across the globe initiates a conversation that allows participants to wrestle with the issues of sharing narratives and increasing our ability to engage with others in more civil cooperation, including those who have a different history and point of view.  David Hooker is an Associate Professor of the Practice of Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding at the University of Notre Dame's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies .

The event is co-sponsored by the Henry Institute at Calvin College, the World Affairs Council of West Michigan, the Kent District Library, and Warner Norcross and Judd.
