Facing Our Divisiveness: Understanding the Origins of Our Discontent

Conversations and Emory Center for Ethics, along with other community partners, welcome Ms. Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the critically-acclaimed bestsellers The Warmth of Other Suns and Caste.

Centering on current issues of social justice, Emory’s fourth annual James W. Fowler Ethics Event is focused on America’s continuing divisiveness and how we may bring hope for the future. Ms. Wilkerson’s clear identification of the power dynamics involved in maintaining social structures resonates deeply with us. We believe our community is hungry for understanding, and her focus on narratives and our own accountability will be a clarion call for change.
