The Certainty Trap: An Education Book Webinar with Ilana Redstone
February 5, 2:30 pm–3:30 pm
On Wednesday, February 5, Ilana Redstone will join the Martin Center for a webinar on her latest book, “The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More―and How We Can Judge Others Less.” In this work, Redstone encourages readers to avoid the trap certainty can set – which then often manifests as moral outrage or righteous indignation – and instead focus on respectful disagreement, not holding others in contempt.
Ilana Redstone is a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana– Champaign and co-directs the Mill Institute at the University of Austin. More about her work is available at www.ilanaredstone.com.
