Join author and journalist Mónica Guzmán for a conversation with Dean of Faculty Elizabeth Smith, co-director of the Dialogue Project.
Guzmán will share insights from her work as a senior fellow for public practice at Braver Angels, a nonprofit working to depolarize America, and reflections from her critically acclaimed book, I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.

Among her many honors, she was a 2019 fellow at the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, where she studied social and political division, and a 2016 fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, where she studied how journalists can better meet the needs of a participatory public.
