Constructive Disagreement Online and Offline

Overview

Responding to concerns about rising polarization and declining trust, the Institute for Humane Studies is convening an interdisciplinary group of faculty and graduate students to examine how people disagree and how they can disagree constructively both online and offline. 

We invite you to address these pressing questions with scholars attending the Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois. 

The symposium takes place on April 3, 2024—the day before the MPSA meeting starts—beginning with opening remarks at 3:00 PM and concluding at 7:00 PM after a networking reception.

Please come prepared to share your ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on constructive disagreement. For your full participation, IHS will provide a $300 stipend to offset one night of hotel accommodations.

If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
