U.S. gun violence and mass murders. Disinformation and misinformation. The U.S. presidential election. Supreme Court rulings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events in 2024 created so much dissension and controversy \u2014 and society became so fractured \u2014 that leaders at the University of Washington decide to create a class to help students navigate the strife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offered in autumn quarter, \u201c2024: Dialogue, Disagreement and Democracy\u201d was an asynchronous online class with an urgent mission: Teach undergraduates how to talk across differences without \u201ccancelling\u201d each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Cinnamon Hillyard, associate vice chancellor for Student Success and associate professor in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences<\/a>, led the 44-strong UW Bothell cohort of this tri-campus offering. Citing a recent UW survey that shows widespread public distrust in higher education, she framed the class as a way to better serve the entire state \u2014 not just people who are liberal leaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s personally important for me that we create spaces so everybody who comes to UW Bothell feels safe to share what they\u2019re thinking,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need to understand where people are coming from, or we\u2019re not serving them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Role models for global citizens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c2024: Dialogue, Disagreement and Democracy\u201d was the first time a tri-campus class format had been offered since 2020. Each week, 198 students from the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses watched videos featuring authors, legislators and other leaders discussing hot-button topics and how to approach them. Then the students offered their own reflections in a virtual gathering space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ed Taylor, the UW\u2019s vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, conducted eight separate video interviews in which he modeled the civility and close listening skills that students would later practice in person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are global conversations. They\u2019re not local conversations,\u201d said Taylor in one of the videos. \u201cThey move and transcend our respective campuses and ask us to be in conversation with citizens across the world.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After watching the weekly videos, students shared individual reflections with their assigned instructor. Halfway through the quarter, the format shifted to a discussion board visible to the entire class \u2014 no matter the students\u2019 home campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe spend so much time on our individual campuses,\u201d said Caeden Statia, a UW Bothell junior. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to appreciate the others until you truly engage with them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conversations that cook, not burn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Early in the course, journalist and author M\u00f3nica Guzm\u00e1n sparked a thoughtful discussion about the power of curiosity to preserve civility. In her interview with Taylor, she spoke of the personal pain of the political divide within her family: She\u2019s a Democrat, and her parents support Donald Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A person.\" class=\"wp-image-31734\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/161025C_007A.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Cinnamon Hillyard, associate vice chancellor for Student Success and associate professor in the School of IAS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversations have gotten intense, she said, but the family has discovered ways to keep them at a simmer. \u201cWe welcome the heat. We\u2019re in the heat,\u201d said Guzm\u00e1n. \u201cBut it feels like it\u2019s cooking something \u2014 not burning something.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the stakes seemed higher than ever and learning how to have a respectful dialogue isn\u2019t just about keeping the peace at the dinner table, Guzm\u00e1n said. She believes it\u2019s the key to holding our democratic republic together, noting that in these times, it\u2019s essential to find tools and strategies to keep an open mind and hear other perspectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After watching her video and others that followed, the students shared their responses with each other in a full-class discussion board. \u201cIt was quite vulnerable knowing the whole class could read your reflection,\u201d said Hillyard, who was impressed with the level of commitment and engagement. \u201cStudents were open and honest with each other.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing the civility gap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What about the so-called red-blue political divide? The class addressed it head-on with a moderated conversation between two long-time legislators who have since left office: Derek Kilmer, former Democratic U.S. representative, and J.T. Wilcox, former Republican state representative, are long-time colleagues and friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a video, they spoke of the threats they see to the country, including many legislators\u2019 eagerness to fight simply for the sake of a fight. This behavior is increasingly common today and is \u201ctearing down the institutions that have made our life in the United States possible,\u201d Wilcox said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of Kilmer\u2019s advice on how to close the civility gap is to never overlook the power of seating arrangements. A few years ago, he set out to ensure a congressional committee he led was functional. When the group held hearings, he disrupted the party-line seating that\u2019s typical in Congress. Instead, Republicans and Democrats intermingled at round tables, putting their heads together as the hearing unfolded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want things to work differently,\u201d Kilmer said, \u201cyou have to <em>do<\/em> things differently.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role models for respectful dialogue in the class took other forms as well, Hillyard said. Dr. Karam Dana, professor in the School of IAS, and local rabbi Will Berkovitz, for example, recorded separate interviews to share their perspectives on the war in Palestine and Israel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the quarter, the UW Bothell students in the class also met in person four times to practice concepts they were learning online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s personally important for me that we create spaces so everybody who comes to UW Bothell feels safe to share what they\u2019re thinking.&#8221; <\/p><cite>Dr. Cinnamon Hillyard, associate vice chancellor for Student Success<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Students tackle tough topics in real time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Student Diversity Center facilitated small-group meetings for the class, offering a clear structure, ground rules and timelines to guide the dialogue (as opposed to debate). Students split into groups of three or four and were invited to share their stories by responding to the question, \u201cWhat\u2019s something that\u2019s important to you?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than defend themselves, each person had the space to explain how they had come to hold a particular belief. \u201cI was amazed how, even though [students] barely knew each other, they\u2019d immediately engage in really tough conversations,\u201d said Hillyard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One student discussed the value he places on gun ownership and his dissatisfaction with recent Washington gun legislation. Another voiced opposition to vaccinations, sharing relief that they are no longer required for UW enrollment. A third person, whose father refuses to get needed counseling, spoke about the state of men\u2019s mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statia recalled that he took a big risk when he revealed that, in the past, he had looked askance at the LGBTQ+ community. His attitude had grown out of some negative interactions in high school, but he\u2019s since made a 180-degree shift and now considers himself a strong ally of the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon hearing each other\u2019s stories, fellow group members simply asked follow-up questions. No one attacked or turned sardonic or rolled their eyes. \u201cIt was modeling what good dialogue looks like,\u201d said Statia, \u201cbut equally important, what good listening looks like. It\u2019s important to learn how to \u2026 bluntly\u2026 shut up.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason for hope<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hillyard thinks the class met its goal of promoting civil dialogue. Students told her that they felt safe to freely express opinions that might not be so welcome in other classes. \u201cIn order to learn, you have to feel safe,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor was also encouraged and inspired by how students practiced the skill of getting to know one another. \u201cYou are a generation of students that will face really important and powerful issues,\u201d he told them in a wrap-up video, \u201cand the question will be: How did we comport ourselves during that time? Can we see the humanity in each other and can we find ourselves to a place of repair?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, the 198 students in \u201c2024: Dialogue, Disagreement and Democracy\u201d may have started a quiet revolution on UW campuses, practicing empathy, bridge-building and the kind of civility that could sustain our democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New tri-campus class helps students bridge some of the differences that define our times. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":31733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,253,1],"tags":[],"school":[419],"class_list":["post-31732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-global-impact","category-uncategorized","school-school-of-ias"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":"","link_2":"","link_3":"","link_4":"","link_5":""},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":"","button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
