UM Dialogues: Differences, Contradictions and Coexistence

Who decides what is “too sensitive” and what can be taught, discussed or challenged? Is there room for different opinions, and can we talk about it with respect? How do we deal with topics that can be experienced as hurtful or confrontational? Should we create a safe learning environment while discussing controversial topics, and how can we do so? How do you deal with political pressure or public outrage concerning research? What role do universities play in protecting researchers who publish controversial results?
