Thompson Library, Rm 165

Civil disobedience is widely viewed as an important form of expression for democratic citizens. But are there circumstances under which uncivil forms of disobedience are morally permissible?

 Join the Center for Ethics and Human Values in a student-moderated discussion featuring two guest speakers presenting different viewpoints: Dr. Candice Delmas (Department of Philosophy, Northwestern University) and Dr. Evan Perkoski (Political Science, University of Connecticut). 

 

This student-moderated discussion is part of CEHV's "Civil Discourse Forums" series. Forum topics are selected by our undergraduate Civil Discourse Fellows trained in the 4Cs of civil discourse (Be Curious, Be Charitable, Be Conscientious, Be Constructive).

CEHV's Civil Discourse for Citizenship initiative is pursued with generous support from the Derrow Family Foundation and in partnership with Ohio State's Civil Discourse Project.
