In this week’s podcast, Jennifer Richmond and Elizabeth Spievak speak with new ILV friend and (fingers crossed) advisor, Dr. Nafees Alam. Nafees is a heterodox social work professor who is bringing viewpoint diversity into his classroom. He is reinvigorating “point-counterpoint” strategies to get his students to explore different opinions and mindsets with compassion and empathy. He uses this style in a lot of his writing where he has considered different perspectives on issues such as mental health, “toxic masculinity” and trans sports.

Be on the lookout for more from Nafees in our December Liberal Values Lab as as a panelist on our Liberalism in Practice Panel Discussion on trans sports with our guests from Genspect.
