Millcreek Meeting Room (Capacity 99)

Come to listen and engage in a civil conversation, with the goal of forming relationships across the differences that can divide us.

Polyamory (from the Greek root polús (many') and the the Latin amor ('love)) refers to having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, typically with the knowledge and consent of all people involved. Polyamory has reportedly become increasingly more popular with some populations of people in the United States today. What do you feel and think about this practice?

Part of an ongoing series, discussions are facilitated by Dr. Dave Derezotes, retired Director of the Peace & Conflict Studies Program and Emeritus Professor of Social Work at the University of Utah.
