Radical Repair
Myisha Cherry and Donna Bailey Nurse
Studio Theatre
60 minsSages from Cicero to Oprah have told us that to heal our wounds forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotions. In Failures of Forgiveness, philosopher and Director of the Emotion and Society Lab, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong—and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness, personally and as a society, can often do more harm than good. In conversation with Donna Bailey Nurse, she presents a new and healthier understanding of forgiveness—one that will give us a better chance to recover from wrongdoing and move toward “radical repair.”
This event will be followed by a book signing.
