On October 10th, the Center for Governance and Markets is excited to host a book talk featuring Dr. Ilana Redstone, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and author of The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More and How We Can Judge Others Less. Co-hosted by the Year of Discourse and Dialogue, the Institute of Politics (IOP), and All Angles at GSPIA, this event will take place at the William Pitt Union, Lower Lounge, from 3:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.
At 5:00 p.m., the event will open to faculty, staff, and the public. Dr. Jennifer Murtazashvili will facilitate a fireside chat with Dr. Redstone, followed by a Q&A session. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage in a thoughtful conversation on how we can overcome polarization by rethinking our approach to certainty and judgment.
The first hour of the event, starting at 3:45 p.m., is designed exclusively for students and includes a meal. Dr. Redstone will engage students with interactive exercises that bring the concepts from The Certainty Trap to life. The first 100 students to register will also receive a free copy of the book. Don’t miss this unique event!
