WriteCast Episode 36: Social Change and Difficult Conversations

Join us for today's WriteCast podcast episode as Beth and Brittany address a topic that directly influences our Walden University mission of social change: How to create spaces for having difficult conversations. When topics arise that reasonable people disagree on, emotions, ideas, and personal viewpoints can lead to tension between individuals in a conversation. Join our hosts as they address this tricky situation and take a close look at some important questions on this topic:

When working for positive social change, what can we do when others disagree on what changes is needed or how to enact change? How do we find common ground and keep discussions productive? Can academic writing teach us anything about how to approach and navigate difficult conversations?
