“Civilization is a method of living and an attitude of equal respect for all people.” – Jane Addams
The Center for Civil Society facilitates dialogue opportunities and public education seminars on critical social issues. The goal of these efforts is to move dialogue about inequality from one that focuses solely on personal responsibility to one that also acknowledges the role of structural barriers in people’s lives.
