The goal of an academic institution is free inquiry, finding the best argument on any given question.
You can only find the best argument if you're hearing all the different possible perspectives from different sides.
So, in fact, making space on campus for all to feel included is actually also about making space for all arguments to be made and be possible.
Hey, everyone, it's Adam Grant.
Welcome back to rethinking my podcast on the science of what makes us tick.
With the TeD audio collective.
I'm an organizational psychologist, and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking.
My guest today is political scientist Danielle Allen.
She's a professor of public policy and political philosophy at Harvard.
She's won a MacArthur genius grant and chaired the Pulitzer Prize Board.
She's published numerous books on democracy and race in the United States.
And in 2022, she ran for governor of Massachusetts.
Danielle serves as founder and president of partners in democracy, where she focuses on democracy renovation.
And she's the most insightful voice I've read on how to fix higher ed.
I try to help my students make the best argument they possibly can for the moral position that they're taking.
How did you end up in this field?
Oh, gosh.
Well, maybe first I should say a bit more about what my field is.
When folks ask me what I work on, I always give the same answer.
