How To Disagree And Still Be Friends: A workshop with Harvard Fellow Nate Otey, ThinkerAnalytix

Want to help students discuss controversial issues? In this interactive workshop, Harvard Philosophy Fellow Nate Otey shows you how to use a simple, fun assignment called The Disagreement Project to help students learn to listen respectfully and defend their views with evidence — to cultivate both empathy and logical rigor. Research from top universities shows that argument mapping significantly improves students’ critical thinking skills and may even decrease partisan polarization.
