How to Bridge Political Divides: Free Speech vs. Hate Speech (A Moderated Problem-Solving Session)

Is is possible to bridge political divides in these polarizing times?  Yes. 

Join Dr. Mascolo as he leads a political problem-solving discussion on the issue of Free Speech vs. Speech Codes.

In this session, Dr. Mascolo will give a short talk explaining how conflict management principles can be used to bridge divides on political issues.  With volunteers from the audience, he will then moderate a live, unrehearsed  political problem-solving discussion on the issue of Free Speech vs. Speech Codes. 

Your job: As an attendee — just listen and ask questions if you wish.

If you want to participate in the actual political problem-solving discussion, we ask that you:

1. Agree to speak with the intention of relating to and understanding your partner — and not to try to convince, argue or grandstand.

2. Trust the process.

3. Let the moderator guide the discussion.

Let’s see if we can solve some problems here.
