In the second part of his conversation with Dr. Tamara Tweel, Rabbi Segal challenges Dr. Tweel to the Radical Moderation game. Dr. Tweel tackles topics like changing the Western canon for purposes of diversity, and the power in self-defined pronouns. Rabbi Segal and Dr. Tweel also discuss using religion to bolster academic understanding, the real key to American civic participation, and how it’s possible to see God in the Pope. The book Dr. Tweel recommends in this episode is “Gilead” by Marilynne Robinson.
