CANCELED: Post-Election Q&A: Understanding This Moment in History

No matter your political leanings, there is no doubt that it’s been a stressful and confusing time recently. One good way to deal with this moment is to know more about history; Wisconsin Humanities and its storytelling project, Love Wisconsin, are here to help. Jen Rubin and Dena Wortzel are moderating a Facebook Live Q&A session with John Kaminski, director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution at UW-Madison.

Nov. 4 update: We are very sorry to have to cancel our scheduled post-election event due to a family emergency. The live conversation with Constitutional Scholar, John Kaminski scheduled for Thursday, November 5th at 7PM will NOT be taking place.

Love Wisconsin and Wisconsin Humanities organized this post-election conversation to create a space for your concerns and questions during a stressful time. We are here to support open, authentic dialogue in the weeks, months, and years to come.

If you have ideas for events we can offer, people you want to hear from, or questions you want help exploring, please be in touch!  You can write to us at: hello@lovewi.com or contact@wisconsinhumanities.org

media release: The Presidential election has Wisconsin and our country on edge. Members of our Love Wisconsin and Wisconsin Humanities communities include people of all political beliefs -- but whatever our differences, we care about our state and each other, and we are sticking together.

To help us through this confusing and stressful time, we asked constitutional historian John Kaminiski to join us to answer our questions and help us see the current moment through the lens of our nation's history.

This event will stream live on our Facebook page, so we hope you’ll tune in and ask your questions!
