Responding to Difference, Diversity, and Conflict
My aim in this course is to investigate how writers can negotiate situations of conflict and disagreement in civil ways, striving more towards conversation than simple debate. So I thought it might be interesting and fun to begin by looking at this quiz designed by Dr Karin Temerius, the founder of Smart Politics, that appeared last November in the New York Times.
