We live in polarizing times\, which can strain our relationships\, institutions\, and communities. The upcoming midterm elections promise to exacerbate this problem further\, even as experts debate root causes. Rather than pine for (mostly imagined) days of unity and civility\, we will discuss strategies for productive outreach and communication\, based in empathy\, mutual benefit\, and a commitment to learned understanding. \nPaths to Understanding is our semesterly collaboration with Ridgewood Public Library. We come together to discuss our shared society\, the challenges we face\, and strategies for navigating polarizing times. \nRegister for the Zoom Webinar (Free)\nOctober 22\, 2026 / 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nOur Panelists \n\n\nDr. Ruma SenProfessor of Communications69É«ÇéÊÓÆµ \n\n\nCeleste Inez MathildaAnalog printmaker\, farmer and mental health counsellor\, Manitoba\, Canada \n\n\nModerated by Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz\, CHGS Director \nDownload a Sharable Flier URL:/holocaust/event/paths-bridging/ ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at 69É«ÇéÊÓÆµ of NJ":MAILTO:holgen@ramapo.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
