Disagreement can be a source of insight and innovation—or a source of stress and drama. In this talk, Julia Minson AB ’99, professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School and a leading expert on the psychology of disagreement, will share insights from her new book, How to Disagree Better (Penguin Random House, March 2026). Drawing on decades of cutting-edge research, Professor Minson will offer concrete, evidence-based strategies for improving conversations across disagreement in the workplace, among family members, and in civic life. During the session, participants will have the chance to receive feedback on their own level of receptiveness to opposing views and engage in a live Q&A with Professor Minson.
