Editor’s note: Office Hours with MHP will be a regular Friday feature of the MHP Blog.
On Monday, I visited Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts to deliver a lecture for Black History Month. While there, I was excited to learn about Clark’s popular courses known as Difficult Dialogues.
Students in the Difficult Dialogues program have explored issues like power, agency, climate change, race and ethnicity, religious tolerance and slowing in a wired world.
What kind of people sign up for something called Difficult Dialogues? The kind who know that the hardest classes are always the best ones! I consider it a great compliment to learn there are campus rumors that I am a “tough professor.”
