Food for Thought Webinar Series: February 2026

Join our monthly Food for Thought discussion with Amber Wichowsky, Associate Professor at the La Follette School of Public Affairs. We’re also pleased to welcome Jake Woodford, Mayor of Appleton, and Emily Berge from the Eau Claire City Council.

In this closing session of our series, we will focus on turning insight into action by exploring practical strategies for fostering civil dialogue in real municipal settings. Building on lessons from the La Follette School of Public Affairs, we’ll analyze how these lessons can be applied to the lived experience of our municipal leaders to navigate challenging conversations with civility.
