We are thrilled to announce the release of the Beyond Bigots & Snowflakes video series. These are short videos on viewpoint diversity, written by Professor Ilana Redstone, and developed with an amazing team at the University of Illinois’ Center for Teaching and Learning. 

Topics of the videos include:

  • Building Community Through Viewpoint Diversity
  • The Problem of Treating Beliefs as Facts
  • The Problem of Excessive Social Penalties
  • The Problem of Telling People to Stay in Their Lane
  • The Problem of Relying on Science To Bridge Our Divides
  • Putting These Principles into Practice

All of the videos are free and publicly available. It is our hope that this series will be a starting point for a series of conversations in schools and workplaces that can put us on the path to more open communication and better problem-solving. All the videos are available through this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htLoeu6af18&list=PLDBD1QdLvr8CiEL7-vyWdyB7s9lc7Nsr
