DESCRIPTION:How should we recover from wrongdoing? Sages from Cicero to Opr
 ah have told us that forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotion
 s and that it has a unique power to heal our wounds. In Failures of Forgiv
 eness\, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong
 —and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness\, personally and a
 s a society\, can often do more harm than good. She presents a new underst
 anding of forgiveness—one that moves us toward “radical repair.”\n\n
 Cherry began exploring forgiveness after some relatives of the victims of 
 the mass shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston\, South Carolina\
 , forgave what seemed unforgivable. She was troubled that many observers a
 ppeared to be more inspired by these acts of forgiveness than they were mo
 tivated to confront the racial hatred that led to the killings. We can for
 give and still be angry\; there can be good reasons not to forgive\, and f
 orgiving a wrong without tackling its roots solves nothing. Examining how 
 forgiveness can go wrong in families\, between friends\, at work\, and in 
 the media\, politics\, and beyond\, Cherry addresses forgiveness and race\
 , canceling versus forgiving\, self-forgiveness\, and more. \n\nMyisha Che
 rry\, Associate Professor of Philosophy\, UC Riverside\, and Director of t
 he Emotion and Society Lab will be in conversation with Jennifer M.  Morto
 n\, Presidential Penn Compact Associate Professor of Philosophy\, Universi
