It’s not always easy to do, but a discussion being hosted by one of the newest entitites on the Knox College campus can help you do it.

The college’s Etz Family Institute for Civic Leadership and Dialogue — established through a family of the same name — says it’s having its first public event next Wednesday night at 7:30 at the Orpheum Theatre.

It’s called “Learning to Disagree Across the Culture Wars.”

Professors John Corvino of Wayne State University, and John Inazu of Washington University in Saint Louis will lead the discussion. They say they will explore how to deal “with cultural and political differences with empathy and respect.”

They say it will help extol citizenship necessary “for sustaining a diverse democracy.”

The event next Wednesday night is free and open to the public.
