TEDx: Confronting Controversy by listening to those we disagree with
“Zachary shares how his grandfather helped him learn to see from multiple angles and learn from those not like himself. His talk helps us understand why in this day and age we should be willing to listen to those we disagree with. Zachary R. Wood is a Robert L. Bartley Fellow at The Wall Street Journal and a Class of 2018 Herbert H. Lehman Scholar at Williams College, where he serves as president of Uncomfortable Learning, a student group that sparked national controversy for inviting provocative speakers to campus. A Washington D.C. native, Wood currently resides in New York City. His recent work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Nation, Times Higher Education, The Weekly Standard and SLAM Magazine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx“
