Drawing from his latest book, Learning to Disagree, Inazu explores how the First Amendment right of assembly informs our understanding of belonging and differences. The conversation highlights the importance of \u201cplaying the long game\u201d by building trust through lived experiences and interpersonal relationships rather than seeking instant resolutions. Ultimately, Inazu offers a hopeful perspective on discovering common ground while still honoring the depth of our religious and moral convictions.   TOPICS COVERED (07:11) - The Role of Religious Institutions in Discourse (13:14) - Playing the Long Game in Relationships (24:32) - The Role of Universities in Navigating Difference (29:16) - The Impact of Personal Identity on Scholarship (33:12) - Common Ground Amidst Differences   RESOURCES AND LINKS \u2022 Learn more about John Inazu\u2019s book, Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect: https:\/\/www.jinazu.com\/learning-to-disagree \u2022 Visit the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance: https:\/\/boniuk.rice.edu\/ \u2022 Visit the Religion and Public Life Center: https:\/\/boniuk.rice.edu\/RPLC   \u2022 Subscribe to Religion Unmuted: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts ","author_name":"Religion Unmuted","author_url":"https:\/\/religionunmuted.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
