An advocate for free speech and free minds, psychologist Pamela Paresky is the creator of the project Habits of a Free Mind: Psychology for Democracy and The Good Life, a set of teachable practices for fostering the habits of curiosity, compassion, courage and calling –– habits necessary for contributing to and thriving in a liberal, pluralist democracy. She is a visiting fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University where her Habits of a Free Mind course focuses on the ability to engage across lines of difference without feeling traumatized and without dehumanizing others. She joins the Chautauqua Lecture Series to present a critical assessment of current obstacles to a flourishing liberal democracy and an outline of what we can and must do to overcome them.
