Conversations Across Differences

The Ford School is committed to playing a leading role in rebuilding a public discourse that is nonpartisan, evidence-based, and inclusive. 

Our graduate and undergraduates students are training to be civic and national leaders. We aim to deepen the ability students--and of the broader public--to make progress on difficult problems in the world through dialogue and action across divides and differences.

Public events

Our Conversations Across Differences event series models reasoned and evidence-based debate, and explores issues around identity and difference. Speakers bridge partisan, ideological, and identity gaps, and provide constructive debate on policy issues that affect our communities, nation, and the world.
