Public
Lecture: Civility and Reconciliation
in the Age of Obama by Professor Van Til |
In this talk, Prof. Van Til builds
on the newly issued paperback edition of his Growing Civil
Society to examine the choices that face the Obama administration
in the area of civil society. Three embodiments of Obama—orator,
pragmatist, and organiser—frame the policy choices of his
new Administration, which may find itself forcefully driven by
a global transformation in civil society that Obama himself has
done much to engender. Jon Van Til is Professor of Urban Studies
and Community Planning at Rutgers University, Camden.
