Improve Your Argument’s Impact
Laura Mappin
February 2, 2014
Note: HCSV Board elections will occur on this date before this Forum begins.
Each of us has probably taken part in a number of persuasive arguments that have only resulted in hurt feelings and disturbed relationships but no further understanding or learning on anyone’s part. We have also probably found ourselves on both sides of those failed arguments. How can we do better?
In this forum, Humanist Community member Laura Mappin will take a look at several scholars’ views on this subject and then facilitate a group discussion on this topic. Audience members will consider real life argument examples provided by attendees and crowd-source possible responses. (This Forum will not be videotaped to allow for a freer discussion.)
