Dialogue across Divides: Designing Better Conversations for a Polarised World
English 180
Globally, polarisation is rising, yet confrontation isn’t inevitable. Constructive dialogue, curiosity over conflict, and finding common ground are choices we can make. This seminar explores the state of division and what it means for society. Through case studies, workshops, and interactive activities, we’'ll examine the forces shaping political disagreement, and how we can bridge divides to have more productive political conversations.
