"This book is an excellent read for faculty, staff, and students on
any type of college campus….The real gem in this book is its
framework on how to conduct conversations on controversial
issues…While the authors focus moral conversations around
pluralism, the premise of moral conversations could readily apply
to interactions around governance, accountability, fiscal
challenges, pedagogy, curriculum development, and other important
issues that can be uncomfortable to discuss, cause participants to
be disrespectful of differing opinions, and ultimately be divisive
to a campus community."

“I believe this is brilliant, timely and instructive book,
not only for educators, but one that reaches across disciplines and
functions in higher education and beyond for anyone that wants to
improve the outcomes of their conversations about controversial
topics…. It conveys the need to create spaces for these
conversations on college campuses, but also instructs how to do
it.
