A Blog with a View—Nov. 24, 2009

Ever since I was introduced to the Public Conversations Project almost a decade ago, I have been influenced by its work. I have used it as a journalist, a community member, and most recently as a university lecturer. The profound notion that even as we argue for one side in a conflict, we often are holding some contradictory thoughts inside our head, has particularly stayed with me. The more that these hidden thoughts are recognized, surfaced, and respected, the better off I firmly believe we all will be.
