The Social Cohesion Dialogues will feature authors Amy Bowers Cordalis (Yurok) and Dean Calbreath, with a conversation moderated by Dr. Lois Brown, CSRD Director and ASU Foundation Professor.
Their work explores the nature of war, honor, environmental injustice, history, and the lasting impacts of colonization. Together, these discussions raise important questions about land, memory, justice, and the stories that continue to shape our communities.
