Matthew McManus (Twitter: @MattPolProf) is a sessional instructor at the University of Calgary who discusses conservatism from a progressive standpoint. Matt and Leslie talk about seeking out those who disagree with you while being open to new arguments, evidence, and perspectives. Not everyone is willing to argue in good faith, but fortunately there are “tells” that signal this disposition before one makes a significant investment of time and energy. There are pitfalls involved in such an effort, and Matt and Leslie examine ways they can be avoided.
