Listen "6: Does dialogue require an open ending?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Science of Dialogue, host Rod J. Naquin examines whether dialogue requires an open ending. We'll discuss discursive leadership's embrace of open-ended conversation without predetermined outcomes. We'll cover Wendy Smith's paradox mindset research, showing continuous engagement with tensions rather than resolving them. We'll revisit Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of dialogue as an evolving, "unfinalizable" interplay of voices. Join us as we explore if resolving dialogue complements or conflicts with its participatory nature.
