Panelists Miriam Glaser Lipsky from the University of Miami, Timothy McCarthy from Harvard University, and Natalie Peeples, an Elon University Psychology student, share their beliefs about dialogue and civic engagement in higher education, discuss how to invite others into discussion, and provide some practical advice for building trust and civility in the classroom.This episode was hosted by Matt Wittstein, edited by Olivia Taylor, and co-produced by Olivia Taylor and Matt Wittstein in partnership with the Elon University Center for Engaged Learning.
