How to Disagree Better Book Discussion
Julia Minson, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, will be our first Viewpoint Exchange speaker in the fall on September 15th. Her book, How to Disagree Better, uses behavioral science to provide practical strategies for navigating disagreements productively, turning conflict into connecting and better decision-making.
On September 16th, following her talk on campus we will have a lunch conversation about the book and how to connect it to our work on campus.
Email [email protected] to get a copy of the book and to let us know if you are interested in the lunch.
