How we conceptualize the interplay
between the unique and the universal, between the diverse
spokes and common hub/rim of the Wheel has far
reaching implications on our
capacities for communication and collaboration, for discovery and creativity, for tolerance, respect and empathy, for building and
sustaining local and
global community. The relationship of the particular and
ubiquitous directly affects the learning, research, creativity
and civility among and between the students and faculty of the University of
Idaho community, and beyond.
In an era of entrenched,
seemingly mutually-exclusive, partisan politics, respecting
our differences and finding
"common ground" are all the more critical.
