Bio
Dr. Phil Neisser currently serves as the Dean of Business and Liberal Arts at the State University of New York at Canton. His prior work experience includes a professorship in political theory at the State University of New York at Potsdam. He is the author of United We Fall: Ending America’s Love Affair with the Political Center, a coauthor (with Jacob Z. Hess) of You’re Not as Crazy as I Thought (But You’re Still Wrong): Conversations between a Devoted Conservative and a Die-Hard Liberal, and a coeditor (with Sanford F. Schram) of Tales of the State: Narrative in Contemporary U.S. Politics and Public Policy. Two ideas undergird all of this work, that political disagreement is healthy and that mutual understanding is possible. His pro-disagreement work with Dr. Hess was featured in 2012 on National Public Radio’s This American Life. Finally, in 2015 he and Dr. Hess were jointly awarded the Public Conversations Founders' Award by Essential Partners, in Boston, Massachusetts.
