The session will explore key differences between listening to understand v. listening to win an argument.
In this session, the Center for Civic Learning and Action (CCLA) and the Ethics Across Campus and the Curriculum program (EACC) team up to introduce new members of the Dickinson community to the Dialogues Across Differences initiative. We will cover the importance of learning how to have compassionate disagreements in pluralistic democratic communities and discuss opportunities to get involved with this work in the fall. New students also will have the opportunity to practice their ethical reasoning, public speaking, and active listening skills during small group conversations focused on case studies about contemporary moral problems.
