A Campus-Wide Effort
Dartmouth Dialogues trains future leaders to engage meaningfully across political and personal differences. We host skill-building workshops for students, faculty, and staff as well as speakers with diverse viewpoints who model constructive disagreement. Our faculty conduct research on topics like polarization and how dialogue affects our brains so we can understand what works—all in the spirit of advancing a culture of inquiry and respect.
