In this talk, Dr. Cullen will discuss what happens when citizens on opposite sides of an argument learn how to disagree civilly. Through live demonstrations, surprising research, and stories from thousands of real student conversations, you'll learn:

• Why your brain is wired to misunderstand "the other side" (and how to hack it)
• What happens when AI facilitates discussions between those who disagree (spoiler: they become more human, not less)
• Why those who are MOST nervous about disagreeing ended up having the BEST conversations

And at the end you'll discover firsthand what happens when we are given the right tools for real dialogue.

Join the Open Minds Initiative discussion to find out how we can learn something from people we disagree with through live scenarios and research-backed solutions.
