The JANUS Forum provides a place for members of the community to come together and discuss opposing views freely and passionately, and where students can explore the multitude of views that exist, and then arrive at their own opinions. It is a catalyst for developing timely, interesting, and rigorous discussion of public affairs. The forum is sponsored by the Department of Political Science thanks to the generous support of Thomas W. Smith (Miami ’50) and Miami’s Menard Family Center for Democracy.
