About
Disagree with a Professor invites professors and students to engage in lighthearted discussions over free lunch. Each professor brings three statements they are willing to defend and students are invited to disagree with them. Statements range from light-hearted (“washing one’s hair is unnecessary”) to culturally and politically relevant (“Israel and Hamas will not be able to achieve a lasting peace over Gaza.”) The goal being to create a space where students feel comfortable disagreeing with faculty outside of the classroom, forming and expressing their own views with intellectual humility and grace, and learning how to respond to arguments that may be outside of their comfort zone.
