EVENT POSTPONED: Due to changes in the congressional schedule related to the ongoing partial government shutdown, Representatives Dingell and Upton must be in DC on Wednesday, January 23. Therefore, this event has been postponed—we look forward to sharing a new date for their conversation at the Ford School as soon as one becomes available. Visit event website for latest updates.

Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.

This event will be live webstreamed. Please check event website before the event for viewing details.

Join the Ford School and WeListen for a Conversations Across Difference event with U.S. Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI 12th District) and Fred Upton (R-MI 6th District) moderated by Brendan Nyhan, professor of public policy at the Ford School. The conversation will consider the opportunities for and obstacles to bipartisan cooperation, while also tackling in thoughtful dialogue some of the most pressing issues currently dividing the two parties, such as immigration policy, the government shutdown, and health care.

Hosted by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and co-sponsored by WeListen and the Program in Practical Policy Engagement.
