Disagreeing in Public
How can we engage in meaningful debates in online spaces such as Twitter and offline spaces such as the classroom without inflicting emotional and physical harm on ourselves and others? This conversation will draw lessons from the historical development of modern technologies (from radio and television to the internet) to critically reflect on contemporary dynamics of disagreeing in public. By centering the long-standing hierarchies of who gets to speak, when, and where, we will also shed light on the shifting discourse of “cancel culture."Recommended pre-workshop screening: Fifteen Minutes of Shame
Speakers: Jason Loviglio and Liz Patton, Associate Professors, Deptartment of Media and Communication Studies
