On November 4, 2024, the CSLP will welcome Sarah Stitzlein (University of Cincinnati) for a timely discussion on honesty, truth, and how they should be taught in schools to enable both truth-seeking and truth-telling in service of good citizenship and democracy.

To better enable young citizens to successfully engage in civic inquiry, the role of honesty must be foregrounded.
