How to be a Confident Pluralist, Danielle Allen | UW–Madison Diversity Forum 2023, Day One

Dr. Danielle Allen a professor of public policy, politics, and ethics at Harvard University delivers the Day One keynote address at the 2023 Diversity Forum.

Conflict entrepreneurs—operating both inside and outside our borders—have recently turned the dizzying and wonderful pluralism of the U.S. into the backdrop for a culture war. Countering the conflict entrepreneurs is necessary to reanimate the promise of democracy. This requires learning how to be a confident pluralist. A confident pluralist is committed to defending a baseline picture of universal human rights; is committed to non-violence and free expression; is able and eager to engage productively across a wide range of viewpoints, backgrounds, lived experiences, perspectives, and identities; and is skilled at converting disagreement into purposive negotiation and shared learning.
