Guest speaker Debra Mashek has spent two decades studying how people form relationships with each other. Now, as Executive Director of the Heterodox Academy, she describes herself as a heterodox enthusiast who values, speaks out, and creates open inquiry and viewpoint diversity both professionally and personally. Although she was reluctant to leave her tenured professorship at a top liberal arts school, Mashek is powerfully drawn to the mission of Heterodox Academy. She became its first Executive Director in January 2018.

Watch this short video about viewpoint diversity - then, join us for an engaging discussion about the intricacies and effects of what viewpoint diversity looks like at our universities. The program will include a presentation by Dr. Mashek, followed by table conversations about the topic.

This event is sponsored by the CSUSM American Democracy Project, Office of Inclusive Excellence, and Library.
