Let's Talk: Civil Disagreement and Dialogue
CSPL 184Z
Summer 2025 not offered

This class is designed as a deep-dive into helping improve communication and dialogue skills through character development. We will consider ways to build community and trust in order to productively engage in and facilitate difficult conversations across political and social differences. Rooted in a philosophical framework for the study of values and virtue, we will reflect upon and incorporate the moral and intellectual features of good dialogues into our everyday lives while exploring some of the fundamental philosophical origins of many moral, religious, political, and interpersonal disagreements. Our goal is to become the sort of people who can communicate effectively across differences in careful, constructive, open dialogues aimed at truth and justice.
