The January Series is a free, 10-day event filled with brilliant speakers, fascinating topics, and enlightened conversation. Calvin University invites prominent academics, educators, artists, activists, and others to present thought-provoking lectures in their areas of expertise.

The Coopersville Area District Library is a remote location for this series. It offers a livestream in the Community Room from 12:30-1:30 PM each day.

Today's speaker: Through conversation, John Inazu will teach us how to disagree better while shedding light on how we often view our adversaries not only as wrong but increasingly as evil, resist notions of forgiveness, and distrust institutions that try to mediate our disagreements. These are all themes of his latest book, “Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect.”
