Navigating Disagreement: The Skills of Civil Dialogue

During this session, participants will explore the skills and strategies that make productive disagreement possible. Julia Minson of Harvard University draws on research in psychology and behavioral science to examine how people respond to opposing views and identify practical strategies for listening, communicating, and engaging constructively across differences. A teacher facilitator will share classroom-ready resources and strategies that help students ask thoughtful questions, consider different perspectives, and practice the habits of civil dialogue./p>
