In this talk, Dr. Cullen will discuss what happens whencitizens on opposite sides of an argument learn how to
disagree civilly. Through live demonstrations, surprising
research, and stories from thousands of real student
conversations, you’ll learn:
• Why your brain is wired to misunderstand “the other
side” (and how to hack it)
• What happens when AI facilitates discussions between
those who disagree (spoiler: they become more
human, not less)
• Why those who are MOST nervous about disagreeing
ended up having the BEST conversations
And at the end you’ll discover firsthand what happens
when we are given the right tools for real dialogue.
Join the Open Minds Initiative discussion to find out how
we can learn something from people we disagree with
through live scenarios and research-backed solutions.
