Institutions of higher education are uniquely positioned to engage in difficult dialogue and everyone at Case Western Reserve University should feel safe to discuss complex issues, while feeling heard and respected.
Members of the university community are invited to join Provost Ben Vinson III for two events this month as panels of experts unearth the complexities of race and racism and conflicts in the Middle East during the next two Critical Conversations events.
