Explore strategies to cultivate environments that encourage students to understand, question, and challenge ideas.

Connect with fellow educators who share a commitment to freedom of expression and open inquiry. Join a supportive community invested in sharing ideas, materials, and resources.

Participant Voices

"The seminar also gave me the energy and knowledge to share this learning out with my colleagues within my department and across the university campus. The learning and engagement from the one-week seminar will undoubtedly stay with me for the rest of my academic career, and I look forward to building on this trajectory in the months and years ahead."

“Through the conversations I had with the participants of the Parrhesia Seminar, I was able to effectively design new assignments and activities that suspended rushed advocacy, invited nuanced discussion, and made the envisioning of the new alternatives possible. We will all benefit from more support of this kind."
