Judge Michael Wei Kwan Lecture featuring Dr. Michael Minch Keynote Presentation "Healing Conversations: How to Build Peace in Divided Communities" Tuesday, April 8, 2025 1 p.m. Taylorsville Redwood Campus 4600 S Redwood Rd. Rampton Technology Building (TB) Room 104 The political culture of the United States is deeply fractured. Republicans and Democrats view one another with suspicion, anger, resentment, and distrust. A significant number of people claim an endorsement of, or willingness to participate in, violence, to “restore” the America they desire. What can be done? How can this dangerous and unsettling divide be bridged? Can we experience healing? How can we learn to understand one another, to speak empathetically and encouragingly with one another? What can we learn from conflict analysis and peacebuilding as it has been practiced in the world’s conflict-intense regions? How can we move forward together, building greater communication, appreciation, and reconciliation with others? How can we build a deeper democracy and more peaceful society? Dr. Minch’s lecture, “Healing Conversations: How to Build Peace in Divided Communities” will address these questions and give answers to them. Professor Minch is both a scholar of conflict and conflict transformation, and also an experienced peacebuilder and teacher of peacebuilding and reconciliation in various global locations. Seating is first come, first served and doors open at 12:30 p.m. Free parking for this event will be available in parking lots Q, P, and R.
