This podcast is brought to you with support from the Mark Sanders foundation.

Through academic excellence and inclusive outreach programs, the Mark Sanders foundation helps deepen understanding through innovation in philosophy for a more informed world.

Thanks for having me.
The topic we're going to talk about is civility.
