About

In these polarized times, what does it mean to disagree well? Constructive disagreement is a skill; and it’s one most of us were never taught. This in-person 4-week course equips participants with skills of empathic intelligence for both listening and speaking, enabling them to pursue meaningful dialogue across differences. Engaging in constructive disagreement and civic activities is crucial for fostering a vibrant community, as well as for effecting the change they want to see. To get the most out of this course, please plan to attend all 4 sessions. The course will take place in Kendall Square and lunch will be provided. Registration deadline is October 8, 2026 .
