    HAVING RESPECTFUL & PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS (NEW) - 1.5 hours
    Our world has become more polarized than ever.  And, Stony Brook is a microcosm of the global community.  Whether the subject matter is about politics and upcoming elections, climate change, race, gun violence, viruses and vaccines, etc. - it's important that we listen empathetically, respect diverse points of view and see what we can learn from each other.  Our impulse might be to shut down the other person by becoming defensive and judgmental thus losing our ability to "really" listen.  Let's look at ways in which we can choose to stay in the conversation and mutually respect each other's opinions.  We will examine useful strategies to learn and grow through difficult conversations, view helpful videos and participate in discussion.
