Tuesday, Feb. 25
5-6:30 p.m.
Filene Auditorium

Join author and journalist Mónica Guzmán for a conversation with Dean of Faculty Elizabeth Smith, co-director of the Dialogue Project. 

Guzmán will share insights from her work as a senior fellow for public practice at Braver Angels, a nonprofit working to depolarize America, and reflections from her critically acclaimed book, I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times. (Copies of the book will be available for attendees.) 

Following the talk, all are invited to enjoy light refreshments during a reception and book signing in the basement foyer of Moore from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

This event is open to the public and will be recorded.

As part of her campus visit, Guzmán will also lead interactive workshops for Dartmouth faculty and staff.

Guzmán serves as the inaugural McGurn Fellow at the University of Florida, working with researchers at the UF College of Journalism and Communications and beyond to better understand ways to employ techniques described in her book to boost understanding. Among her many honors, she was a 2019 fellow at the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, where she studied social and political division, and a 2016 fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, where she studied how journalists can better meet the needs of a participatory public.
