This New York City conversation brings together contributors to Civility Unbound to examine how civility operates across culture, identity, media, and the arts. Drawing on perspectives from scholarship, journalism, and creative practice, the discussion will explore civility’s dual role in public life—how it can foster democratic dialogue while also, at times, limit challenges to injustice. The program features Kwame Anthony Appiah, University Professor of Philosophy and Law at NYU; Lynn Itagaki, Associate Professor of Literature and Gender at Claremont McKenna College; and Karen Jackson-Weaver, former Senior Associate Vice President for Global Faculty Engagement and Innovative Advancement at NYU; Charlton McIlwain, Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, and moderated by Eric Klinenberg, Helen Gould Shepard Professor of Social Science and Director of the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU.
