Our When to Speak, When to Listen: Public Dialogue in an Era of Polarization program was a success! Katherine Cramer, Professor of Political Science at UW–Madison shared engaging ways to have beneficial, respectful conversations with people. Thanks Badger Talks for providing such a beneficial event. The amount of small group conversations during - and after - the program was truly encouraging.

Inga Witcher Orth was absolutely delightful. She was honest, funny, and inspirational. Her polenta was mighty tasty, too! What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Her new book is available at the library. Put it on hold today!
