3592 - Let's Discuss Topics We Disagree On (Alice Huang)
Course Description
Instructor: Alice Huang
This course is for those who have already participated in any of the previous courses Alice Huang has led for OLLI -- an Intro Workshop, or any of the 4-week “Discussing Topics We Disagree On” workshops. We will choose topics that we disagree on but would like to discuss in more depth, and try to engage constructively with a different topic each week, in order to gain insights into those topics from those we disagree with, and to build our understanding and skills for having these conversations.
BIO: Much of “what everyone’s talking about” these days seems to drive us apart, so we wind up more and more talking with only people we agree with. These workshops are my effort to create a setting in which more of us can talk with each other, and learn from each other, especially when we disagree. I come to this with a background in biomedical research, and experience designing and conducting workshops and leading discussion groups. I look forward to learning with you about topics we disagree on.
