Celebrating Conversation: The University Seminars at 75
In "Celebrating Conversation: The University Seminars at 75," Robert Pollack reflects on the 75-year history of Columbia University's University Seminars, an initiative that fosters intellectual dialogue across disciplines. Pollack discusses the importance of conversation as a tool for mutual understanding, emphasizing that true conversation requires equality, respect, and openness to different perspectives. He highlights the Seminars as an ongoing experiment in democracy, where participants engage in free and open discussions that challenge preconceived notions and contribute to intellectual growth.
