On Sept. 10, in partnership with the UNC Program for Public Discourse, we hosted a discussion between Drs. George and West on fostering dialogue and friendships across the political aisle. The event was moderated by Thomas Chatterton Williams, with an introduction from Dr. Terry Rhodes, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and we’re thrilled to be able to share the recording now here!
