Our society feels divided, but democracy is based on the hope that we can work together despite different experiences and opinions. Join us for a FRANK talk exploring the skills and attitudes of citizenship, mutual respect for our common humanity, and civil discourse.

FRANK Talks are engaging conversations on issues of local and national importance, led by a humanities scholar/expert on the topic. These conversations provide the opportunity to put these issues in context, weigh facts, and consider different points of view. The goal of FRANK Talks is to inspire people to practice the skills of citizenship – to listen respectfully and engage thoughtfully with one another on matters that affect our communities. Our scholar facilitating this FRANK talk is Matt Kundert from the University of Arizona.
