The power of uncomfortable conversations with Meredith Preston McGhie - Centre for Pluralism

We live in a time when our differences and divisions feel more stark. Scarcity, anxiety, division and conflict can feel like reasons to contract, to narrow how we define our communities and who we engage with. In fact, in these moments, leaning into dialogue, mutual curiosity and understanding, and finding ways to collaboratively and deliberately build spaces for belonging are ever more important.

Acknowledging how incredibly challenging this is for all of us is part of the path and process forward. The discussion focuses on the power of pluralism, the power of reciprocal recognition and belonging and what it means to have these uncomfortable conversations in the rare and difficult spaces of the middle ground in today’s world.

This event is presented in partnership with the University of Alberta Office of the Vice-Provost, Access, Community and Belonging and the Office of the Dean, College of Social Sciences and the Humanities.
