I spoke with Royce Engstrom, University of Montana provost, after he moderated a great panel on civil discourse Thursday night at the University Center ballroom. Professors David Moore, Heather Bruce, Janet Finn and Tobin Shearer all contributed to an intriguing discussion. The day of diversity ended a day full of panels and discussions about the importance of seeing beyond the world of which we are most familiar. In other words, there’s a lot of things happening in other cultures that we ought to be taking time to understand if we are going to have civil discourse in our lives. I’ll sum this up better, later.
