Intellectual Friendship

The conversation that began on Thursday, March 6th,continued the next two days in a colloquium that drew together Duke faculty and students along with former participants in Duke’s Civil Discourse seminars. Abdullah Antepli, director of POLIS at Sanford, summarized what participating faculty in Duke’s Civil Discourse seminars learned over the past several years: “Teaching on polarizing subjects went better than expected. Duke’s seminars helped faculty to gain moral courage and intentionality to teach challenging subjects”.
