WHAT TO DO: Listen without prejudice

Tuesday, Jan. 10, Esquire Club, 6:30 pm

UW professor Katherine Cramer, author of The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker, gathered information for the book by dropping in on small-town conversations about public affairs. She will reflect on her conclusions about the importance of “Listening in a Time of Hate” at this forum hosted by Reach Out Wisconsin, a bipartisan group dedicated to bridging the political divide.

Please join us for a talk by UW-Madison Professor Katherine Cramer. She will reflect on what she has learned about the value of listening from 3 main experiences:  1) Studying dialogues on race among interracial groups of people as a white person, 2) Listening to conversations about public affairs in rural areas, and 3) Teaching a small course on democracy this semester with a group of very politically diverse students.
