Laurie Mulvey | Sociology | World in Conversation
Students of history know that social destabilization and violence can emerge with too much polarization among the people. In this introduction to the dialogue method developed over two decades at World in Conversation, Laurie Mulvey (Director) will briefly discuss the "how" of building a healthy society, in particular the crucial role of dialogue facilitators. In her view, facilitated dialogue is not a space for correcting other people’s beliefs and narratives, nor is the goal to develop empathy. It is a space for thinking together--with the very people whose ideas we reject.
