Disagreement can be a source of insight and innovation—or a source of stress and drama. In this talk, Julia Minson, Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and a leading expert on the psychology of disagreement, will share insights from her new book, How to Disagree Better (Penguin Random House, March 2026). Drawing on decades of cutting-edge research, Professor Minson will offer concrete, evidence-based strategies for improving conversations across disagreement in the workplace, among family members, and in civic life. During the session, participants will have a chance to review feedback on their level of receptiveness to opposing views.
