Beyond Red and Blue: Fostering Friendships in a Polarized Campus Climate

Presented by the University of California National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement "Fellows in the Field" workshop series Political polarization can feel like an unavoidable reality on today’s college campuses — but personal relationships can be a powerful antidote.

Drawing on students’ stories of these friendships gathered through interviews and surveys, they examine how these relationships can foster democratic learning, reduce values-based polarization, and build empathy in ways that formal dialogue programs sometimes cannot.

(No) Shame in Speaking: Creating Space for Courageous Conversation

Presented by the University of California National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement "Fellows in the Field" workshop series Shame is one of the most powerful — and little discussed — barriers to open dialogue on campus. It can silence students before they speak, shut down meaningful debate, and deepen divisions across communities. In this session, fellow Penelope Lusk explores how shame shows up in student activism, classroom discussions and peer interactions, and what educators can do to transform it into a catalyst for growth. Drawing on research, real-world campus experiences and emotional resilience strategies,  Penelope will offer tools to help students navigate vulnerability, speak with confidence, and engage fully. Speaker: Penelope Lusk Ph.D. Candidate in the Education, Culture and Society Program, University of Pennsylvania Registration: Register today. Audience Type: Adults.
