The program will discuss the effects of divisiveness on discourse and governance and the impact of social media, fake news, and filter bubbles that polarize information intake. What are possible prescriptions to correct this vicious cycle? How can our footprint translate into prosocial instead of antisocial behavior? How can the press restore faith in our civic life and the construction of public policy? The Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Project and UW Presidential Engagement Initiative, in collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Global Studies, and School of Politics, Public Affairs and International Studies, is partnering with the Wyoming Humanities Council, Wyoming PBS and Wyoming Public Radio to host Heffner for a public discussion on “Civil Discourse in an Uncivil Age: The Quest for a Post-Partisan Citizenship.” The event, which is free and open to the public, will start at 5:30 p.m. in the College of Arts and Sciences auditorium.
