Course Title
Openness to Opposing Views
Course Description
What does it mean to be open to opposing views? This course emphasizes the Berkeley Changemaker themes of critical thinking, effective communication, and productive collaboration. You will combine critical examination of evidence-based, multi-disciplinary research and theories with personal self-reflection and practice in engaged discourse. These are interwoven with implementable strategies, directly applicable to the public, private, and civic sectors, to help you develop a sharper sense of how to engage productively with those whose perspective might be radically different from your own. As you do so, you will be exposed to approaches from academic disciplines across UC Berkeley and will sharpen your changemaking skillset.
