Political and cultural violence in America has reached alarming new levels, and mass media and politics have made it difficult to create an authentic emotional response to tragedy and the trauma it creates. Five panelists (Lopa Basu, Chris Freeman, Courtney Juelich, Yutika Keny, Kamran Shams), comprised of students, staff, and faculty, will examine the historical and contemporary contexts of trauma and tragedy and the freedom to feel as a fundamental human right and necessary precondition for well-functioning democracies and emotional well-being.
