Laurie Mulvey speaks internationally at Democracy Summit DemocracyXChange

"People tend to say "let's agree to disagree" when they feel they are at the end of a process. In my view, that statement actually points to the beginning of the process." – Laurie Mulvey

Laurie Mulvey, Director and Clinical Professor, speaks internationally about WinC’s cutting-edge research on conflict and the practical applications of public diplomacy.

During Canada’s recent Democracy Summit DemocracyXChange, Laurie presented a case for how conflict facilitators are necessary for people to meaningfully collaborate across deep divides in order to build solutions for our most pressing social problems.

In the panel discussion Agreeing to Disagree in a Democracy, Laurie helped unpack what’s underneath our growing polarization and how we can speak and listen across differences.
