Students and teachers on campus are quietly shutting down when tough conversations arise, fearing backlash or complaints — a trend that’s fueling self-censorship. During public hearings for a royal commission on anti-Semitism, lecturers Farid Zaid and Daniel Heller spotted this growing problem and launched the Brave Conversations Project to teach people how to stay present, humble, and engaged during uncomfortable debates. Their workshops focus on simple but powerful skills like asking clarifying questions — “Is this what you meant?” — to prevent miscommunication. Complementing this effort, Together for Humanity brings diverse speakers into classrooms to confront prejudice head-on, helping students build empathy and understand discrimination’s complex layers.
