How are we teaching students, and the broader community, to disagree? It’s a question the College of Media hopes to address in a new three-part Zoom series, “Bridging Divides: Conversations on Media and Disagreement.” Faculty from the Departments of Advertising, Journalism, and Media & Cinema Studies will host free webinars exploring how productive discussions occur across lines of disagreement and difference.
The final talk, Engaging with People, Perspectives, and Policies When You Don’t Agree: Lessons from Journalism, will feature Swanlund Chair Professor of Journalism Leon Dash, 1995 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Explanatory Reporting, as well as Colleen King, clinical assistant professor of journalism, director of the Richard and Leslie Frank Center for Leadership and Innovation in Media, and former executive producer for MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Brian Williams.
