SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Can We Speak Our Minds\, Change Our Minds AND be Civil?: Building Bridges Across the Political Divide with the Civility Project
DESCRIPTION:Americans are at their best when they can talk with another\, disagree\, even argue\, but agree to keep the dialogue going. Unfortunately\, too many people today feel like they can't do that\, and they have to avoid even speaking to people with whom they disagree. The Civility Project aims changing that. Co-founders of the Project\, journalists Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson\, explain how to create an environment of respectful exchange. \n\nThey will also discuss their book\, The Civility Book\, which aims to be \"A Guide to Building Bridges Across the Political Divide.\" (Books will be available for purchase.)\n\nThe event is co-sponsored by: Talking Maize & Blue\, Wallace House Center for Journalists\, Access and Opportunity\, Life-Changing Education\n\nA reception will follow the discussion.\n\nThe How to Speak your Mind / How to Change Your Mind Speaker Series:\n\nThis speaker series is designed to encourage the campus community to think – and talk with one another – about what it means to develop an informed opinion and stand your ground when challenged\; and about changing your mind in light of new evidence\, different perspectives\, and serious reflection. Open inquiry and the thoughtful exchange of ideas can expand what you know (and how you know it)\, change your mind when warranted\, and help cultivate the courage of your convictions when necessary.\n\nSpeaker bios:\n\nNolan Finley began his newspaper career as a copy boy at The Detroit News while a senior in college. After a brief stint with the Jackson Citizen Patriot\, he returned to The News as a reporter\, covering the administration of Mayor Coleman A. Young. He's been the newspaper's City Editor\, Business Editor\, Politics Editor and Deputy Managing Editor. In 2000\, he was named Editorial Page Editor\, where he directs the expression of the newspaper's editorial position on various national and local issues and writes a column in the Sunday newspaper. His columns have appeared in the newspaper ever since. As he wrote in his introductory column\, Nolan is a product of The News and the Detroit community. He graduated from both Schoolcraft College and Wayne State University and in 2012 was inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame. He is co-host of One Detroit on Detroit Public Television.\n\nStephen Henderson is an American journalist who won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for commentary and the 2014 National Association of Black Journalists Journalist of the Year Award while writing for the Detroit Free Press. A native of Detroit\, Stephen is a graduate of the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and the University of Michigan. Since 2015\, he has been the host of \"Detroit Today\" on WDET. In 2020\, he founded BridgeDetroit\, where he serves as Executive Editor. He has worked for the Baltimore Sun\, the Chicago Tribune\, the Lexington Herald-Leader and Knight Ridder. Henderson is co-host of One Detroit and host of American Black Journal on Detroit Public Television.\n\nNolan and Stephen have been longtime friends\, despite their different perspectives on pretty much everything. The one thing they agree on is the importance of their friendship—which includes a healthy dose of disagreement and mutual respect.

SUMMARY:Other:Wonder Walk: Beaver Tales and Co-Existence
DESCRIPTION:Big teeth\, webbed feet\, swimming silently through the stream—who might we encounter on our next Wonder Walk?\nJoin us to explore how our local history is intertwined with beavers\, and how rebuilding relationships with nature can shape our future. We’ll begin with a short\, grounding presentation\, then head out at dusk to walk the trails and witness the changes Matthaei has experienced since the return of this beloved keystone species. Together\, let's slow down\, listen\, and deepen our connection to nature.\n\nMatthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.  These walks are FREE\, open to the public\, and no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group\, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.
