On display in JMU Libraries Express, October 2024. Selected by James Madison Center for Civic Engagement, JMU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, JMU Libraries, and the Dukes Ace Civility Program.
How do people move from discord to dialogue? How can civil discourse help us move forward despite disagreements? How can complex issues and challenges be explored and debated productively? There are no easy answers to these questions, whether in the context of higher education or broader, national issues.
The books, videos, and other media in this display, selected by the James Madison Center for Civic Engagement, JMU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, JMU Libraries, and the Dukes Ace Civility program, explore various concepts related to civic engagement and civil discourse.
