Join the HLS Library on Monday October 17 from 5pm-6pm in the Fishman Room, Langdell Hall 2 North for a HLS Library Ideas Salon on Good Arguments: How Debate Teaches Us to Listen and Be Heard by Bo Seo ’24 in conversation with HLS Professor Martha Minow. This event is free and open to Harvard ID holders. Light refreshments will be served.

More about Good Arguments from Penguin Press:
“Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history, [Bo] Seo teaches readers the skills of competitive debate, and in doing so shows how they can improve their communication with friends, family, and colleagues alike. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcom X to Artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives. Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at time when bad faith is all around, and our democracy seems so imperiled.”
HLS Library Ideas Salons are moderated forums for current HLS students to share and discuss their work beyond the classroom.
