Leading change by embracing more perspectives
Learning from multiple viewpoints is essential for meaningful discourse, excellence in research and teaching, and educating the next generation of global leaders
The Tufts University Center for Expanding Viewpoints in Higher Education is dedicated to helping Tufts University and higher education more broadly embrace difficult topics and challenging conversations to break out of ideological bubbles to drive research and teaching forward.
“When students and faculty engage in respectful debate and learn from perspectives across the ideological spectrum, they will advance their own thinking and challenge orthodoxies.”
— President Sunil Kumar, Tufts University
