Following a brief introduction about their new book, RAISING AMERICA: Building a More Perfect Union, former ISU professor Charles R. Kniker and Dianne Prichard, [former high school English teacher, now minister] will discuss ways individuals and groups can hold meaningful conversations about today’s political situations. Responding in a question/answer format, they, along with V. V. Raman, a distinguished physicist/philosopher, will tackle the fragile territory of conversation among friends and family.
