Our Compelling Interests Series: Leveraging Diversity

Please join us for a panel discussion on Leveraging Diversity as contributors to the Our Compelling Interests book series and initiative share their perspectives on what we gain from diversity. The panel will explore the diversity narratives as well as how we leverage diversity to create new forms of a healthy civic nation. Joining the moderator, U-M professor Angela Dillard, will be contributors to the first three volumes in the book series and the co-authors of the highly anticipated fourth publication.

Immediately following the book event, we invite you to a reception in the East Conference Room (4th Floor) from 5:30–6:30 p.m., where you will have an opportunity to speak to the panelists.

Livestream is available for the event; please access here, https://media.rackham.umich.edu/rossmedia/Play/42227c81203b464aa9749df4ee0e40831d
