Postures, Processes, and Practices to Overcome Political Paralysis

November 6, 2020 by Joshua Wu Leave a Comment

As we approach the end of another contentious election cycle, it would be easy to be discouraged, dismayed, or disappointed in the discord and disunity of our country. But as Christians living and working in academic spaces, we may be uniquely equipped to navigate division and political paralysis as we seek to individually and corporately restore civility in our country. Specifically, the posture of intellectual humility, the process for empirical argumentation, and the practice of intellectual debate can be valuable … [Read more...] about Postures, Processes, and Practices to Overcome Political Paralysis
