Note: This event is to be attended online, and is open to UA Little Rock faculty, staff, and students.
Polarization can be driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies.
This free 2.5 to 3 hour workshop is offered online over Zoom and teaches participants:
- How to be more aware of their own "inner polarizer"
- How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population
- How to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people
Who can come? Any faculty/staff member, or student at UA Little Rock, who is interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
