In a world increasingly marked by polarisation and fractured discourse, how can we truly hear each other?Join us in the Great Room of the RSA for a vital conversation between Emily Kasriel, journalist, broadcaster, and author of the new book Deep Listening, and Professor Paul Dolan, behavioural scientist and author of the new book Beliefism. Together, they’ll explore the transformative power of deep listening and belief systems in shaping how we communicate, understand, and disagree.Emily’s pioneering work on ‘deep listening’ reveals how active, empathetic engagement can break down barriers and build trust. Paul’s latest research into belief structures challenges us to understand how and why we cling to our views – and what it takes to listen to different perspectives.This event brings two powerful thinkers into dialogue, sharing fresh perspectives and practical strategies to foster respectful, productive conversations in divided times. As we navigate increasingly complex social and political terrain, this is a timely and urgent opportunity to reflect on what it means to connect meaningfully across difference.Speakers:Emily Kasriel, journalist, broadcaster, and authorProfessor Paul Dolan, behavioural scientist and authorChair:Sonia Livingstone OBE FBA, Professor of Social Psychology, Department of Media and Communications at LSE, author and Director of Digital Futures for ChildrenDonate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3ZyPOEaBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembFollow RSA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Like RSA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
