October Artist Reception - Joyce Wascom

October Artist Reception - Joyce Wascom

After retiring from public schools in 2022, Joyce picked up some dowels, a plate, and paint, and she has been dotting ever since. Without planning or measuring, she finds the center and lets the dots lead the way. Though she experiments with form, size, shape, and depth of dots, her favorite is painting a mandala on a plate, one dot at a time.

Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect

"Are you discouraged by our divided, angry culture, where even listening to a different perspective sometimes feels impossible? If so, you're not alone and it doesn't have to be this way. In his book Learning to Disagree, John Inazu reveals a 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."

John Inazu is the Sally D. Danforth Distinguished Professor of Law and Religion at Washington University in St. Louis. He teaches criminal law, law and religion, and various First Amendment courses. He writes and speaks frequently to general audiences about pluralism, free speech, religious freedom and other issues. John has written three books and published opinion pieces in the Washington Post, Atlantic, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, USA Today, Newsweek and CNN.
