Keep the Conversation Going: What does 'Safe Space' Mean for Us? Tuesday, May 3 at 5:15 p.m. in Olin Hall 102. Many campuses and communities are involved in discussions about "safe space," so what does this idea mean for the Luther and Decorah communities? Where does the idea of safe space come from? How does it shape the conversations we can have? These questions and more will be explored in this conversation meant to model good disagreement, like the "truth seeking" we recently saw between Cornel West and Robert George.
