U of U Communication

@GovCox @_UnifyAmerica_ We've been happy to have our students participate in years past and look forward to continuing this tradition!

Speaking of universities, we’re grateful for the good work of @_UnifyAmerica_ and especially their Unify Challenge College Bowl, where thousands of college students across the country are paired across differences to spend an hour discussing hot button issues, finding common ground, and discovering they can disagree without anger or contempt.

Second, a word of thanks to the hundreds of leaders, scholars, and organizations working with us to foster healthy conflict, the kind that leads to solutions rather than endless bickering. This is not an exhaustive list but it’ll still be a doozy cause there’s a lot of great folks doing remarkable work. We hope you will follow them, join their projects, start chapters in your communities, share their messages, and practice what they preach. nga.org/disagree-bette…

Happy to see this work from my @UofUComm undergrads' class project out in the world. Especially proud of 1) tackling an important issue here in SLC 2) open science practices (osf.io/2su7x/) and 3) iterating across studies to improve the work. tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
