Disagreement and Civil Dialogue in American Politics and Civic Culture

Body

Part of the 2017-2018 lecture series, “Free Speech and Intellectual Diversity in Higher Education and American Society,” at Arizona State University.  

On October 12, 2017, U.S. Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Tom Daschle (D-SD) spoke at ASU on the stage of Katzin Concert Hall to engage in a civil discussion on the topic of "Disagreement and Civil Dialogue on American Politics and Civic Culture." The event is second in the "Free Speech & Intellectual Diversity in Higher Education and American Society" series sponsored by the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership and co-sponsored by the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law at Arizona State University.

In 2010, Time magazine recognized Senator Kyl as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He was elected to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate in 1994 and retired at the end of his third term in January of 2013. Before serving in the Senate, he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995 and earlier worked as a lawyer and lobbyist in Phoenix. Jon Kyl currently serves as Senior Counsel at Covington and Burling, LLP and is a Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He is also a Distinguished Fellow in Public Service in Arizona State University’s College of Public Service and Community Solutions and Distinguished Scholar of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.

Senator Daschle became the Senate Democratic Leader in 1994, and during his tenure, also served as both Majority and Minority Leader. South Dakota elected Daschle to represent the state in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978, where he served for eight years before his election to the U.S. Senate in 1986. In 2007, he joined with former majority leaders George Mitchell, Bob Dole, and Howard Baker to create the Bipartisan Policy Center, an organization dedicated to finding common ground on pressing policy challenges of our time.

In October The School of Economic Thought and Leadership had, U.S. Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Tom Daschle, D-S.D., joined us at Arizona State University on the stage of Katzin Concert Hall to engage in a civil discussion on the topic of "Disagreement and Civil Dialogue on American Politics and Civic Culture." The event is second in the "Free Speech and Intellectual Diversity in Higher Education and American Society" series sponsored by the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership and co-sponsored by the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law at ASU.

Daschle became the Senate Democratic Leader in 1994, and during his tenure also served as both Majority and Minority Leader.
