DIALOGUES: Talking (and Listening) Across Divides
Αs part of the SNF’s monthly DIALOGUES series, Johns Hopkins University co-organized the 2nd SNF Agora Institute Workshop. The event was held on June 26th from 09:00 am to 01:30 pm at the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the Greek National Opera, SNFCC.
The workshop, “Talking (and Listening) Across Divides,” explored what experience and science can teach us about the requirements for productive dialogue and engagement. This workshop was led by a diverse group of scholars and practitioners whose research and work helped to shed light on how we might resolve, mediate, or even just consider competing claims—essential work for any thriving democracy.
