This event is presented in partnership with Braver Angels, bringing Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.
Drawing from cross-partisan conversations she’s had, organized, or witnessed everywhere from the echo chambers on social media to the wheat fields in Oregon to raw, unfiltered fights with her own family on election night, Mónica Guzmán shows how you can put your natural sense of wonder to work for you immediately, finding the answers you need by talking with people-rather than about them-and asking the questions you want, curiously.

In I Never Thought of It That Way, you’ll learn:
How to ask what you really want to know (even if you’re afraid to)
How to grow smarter from even the most tense interactions, online or off
How to cross boundaries and find common ground-with anyone
Whether you’re left, right, center, or not a fan of labels: If you’re ready to fight back against the confusion, heartbreak, and madness of our dangerously divided times-in your own life, at least-Mónica’s got the tools and fresh, surprising insights to prove that seeing where people are coming from isn’t just possible. It’s easier than you think.

Jackson leadership fellow, and spent the 2015-2016 academic year studying how journalists can evolve to better meet the needs of a participatory public as a Nieman Fellow at Harvard.
