Talking Together

Monthly we focus on Talking Together: Strengthening our Communities through Conversation, a dialogue initiative aimed at interrupting polarization and investing in the principles of civil discourse and respectful conversation. This morning from GVSU’s Kaufman Interfaith Institute we speak with Assistant Director Kyle Kooyers and Program Manager Zahabia Ahmed-Usmani. We discuss the upcoming, February 23rd event, See No Stranger: An Evening with Valerie Kaur. Talking Together is a partnership between the Padnos/Sarosik Center for Civil Discourse, Kaufman Interfaith Institute, Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, and WGVU Public Media.

Shelley Irwin is the host and producer for The Shelley Irwin Show, a news magazine talk-show format on the local NPR affiliate Monday through Friday. The show, broadcast at 9 a.m., features a wide variety of local and national news makers, plus special features.
