John Inazu will speak on his recently released book followed by a conversation with Mike Woodruff. In his new book, Inazu reveals the surprising path to learning how to disagree in ways that build new bridges with our neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones--and help us find better ways to live joyfully in a complex society.
As a constitutional scholar, legal expert, and former litigator, John has spent his career learning how to disagree well with other people. In Learning to Disagree, John shares memorable stories and draws on the practices that legal training imparts--seeing the complexity in every issue and inhabiting the mindset of an opposing point of view--to help us handle daily encounters and lifelong relationships with those who see life very differently than we do.
John Inazu is the Sally D Danford Distinguished Professor of Law and Religiou at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also the author of Libery's Refuge (Yale University Press, 2012) and Confident Pluralism (University of Chicago Press, 2016). He is co-editor (wtih Tim Keller) of Uncommon Ground (Thomas Nelson, 2020).
The event will be held in the sanctuary of Christ Church, Lake Forest at 7pm on Sunday, April 28th.
