Start Date

Description
is this land still made for you and me?
Does “shared life” mean that we just exist side-by-side being affected by others –or even noticing them? What happens when convivencia goes wrong, when U+I = just “me”, and there’s no room for “you” or “them”?
What happens when convivencia fails, and human rights abuses occur? This session was a conversation with a Canadian scholar who has devoted his life to creating common ground.
