Join Us As We Discuss Civic Dilemmas: What Type of Society are We Building?

Join Facing History and Ourselves on the 18th of October at Civic Dilemmas: What Type of Society are We Building?

The event promises to be a stimulating and timely conversation about identity, membership and belonging in the United Kingdom. Panelists will include Fiyaz Mughal of Faith Matters, an NGO that works to reduce extremism in the UK and the Middle East; Binna Kandola, an occupational psychologist specialising in issues of diversity; and Una Sookun, head of history at Woolwich Polytechnic School.

The discussion, which begins at 6:45 p.m. at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in London, will tackle the following questions:

• How do we live and work together, peacefully and productively, in light of the differences between us, particularly in times of economic uncertainty?
  
  
• What are the opportunities and challenges inherent in a diverse society? Do we have an unconscious bias against difference?
  
  
• How have the events of 7/7 and 9/11, and the recent violence in England changed how we think about our society?
  
  
• How can education help students simultaneously embrace difference and inspire a shared sense of belonging?

This event is free and open to the public.
