Disagreeing well in an online world

Welcome to our second event in our Disagreeing Well public series - Disagreeing Well in an online world.  The event brings together a highly acclaimed panel of speakers, chaired by Ayesha Hazarika, broadcaster and Times Radio presenter. The panel will discuss the impact that social media platforms have on our society, and how we can better communicate with people who hold very different views to our own. The event will examine the rise of misinformation online and the damage it can cause, as well as the opportunities that communicating online can bring.

Disagreeing Well is about how we live together as a community in which there are many differences of opinion, often deeply held and personally felt.  
Disagreeing Well is an essential life skill that brings enormous benefits to individuals and society.  By approaching disagreements with respect, curiosity and a desire to find common ground, we can nurture understanding and solve shared problems.
This series of events seeks to explore what is required to help people to Disagree Well. Looking across different topics from ‘disagreeing in the online world’ to ‘disagreeing in public life’, a diverse range of speakers will share their insight, knowledge and personal experiences about how we can learn to disagree well, and reflect upon what happens when we do not.
