RQ'S FOUNDER'S WEEKEND: SAYING NO TO BINARY THINKING

Are you part of the problem, or are you part of the solution when it comes to avoiding political polarization and violence?

The Pluralist Lab empowers the next generation of leaders to navigate difference with clarity, courage, and respect. This immersive workshops will help students, educators, and community members build the skills, habits, and dispositions necessary for civil discourse and institutional leadership in a diverse and divided world. Moderators at each table will lead participants through engaging conversation that seeks to destabilize binary thinking, cultivate nuanced conversation, and create space for understanding. Leaders from the proceeding lecture and discussion will all be participating in the workshop.

Partners: The Philadelphia Ethical Society, The Pluralist Lab, Braver Angels, and Old Swede's Episcopal Church


WHAT IS ROOT QUARTERLY'S FOUNDER'S WEEKEND?
It's a grassroots convening by Root Quarterly magazine with many partner organizations, all of whom are intersted in promoting a pluralistic culture of free expression. A thousand years from now, the first 500 years of our country will be considered early-American history. That means we are all founders, responsible and accountable for the direction of the United States. America is an experiment. Be part of it.
