The practices for seeking and engaging about, with, and across our differences and disagreements enhance our personal, academic, professional, and civic lives. The practices also help us build stronger, more resilient, connected, and responsive communities and workplaces. This session examines discourse, limitations of common modes, and introduces practices and models to encourage inclusive and productive conversations.
Dinner will be served.
