Greg Knouff, Chuck Weed, Priscilla Holmes, Tom Whitcomb (KSC faculty members) will offer a panel discussion to help contextualize the events of the past several weeks and discuss the “American” view of the events and possible responses to them. Historical and political background information will be part of the presentation. Discussion about how the recent actions highlight American and world struggles over economic, social, racial and cultural injustices will also be included. The critical thing is to have a scholarly, open, and respectful way of airing various and in some cases, dissenting opinions.
