About the Course: Law 199
ABOUT Law 199
As a Law and Dialogue Ambassador, you will work with a team of students and Professor Wilson, the founder of the Tolerance Means Dialogues (more information below), to elevate the voices of Generation Z and Millennials—tomorrow’s leaders—who have come of age in an era of increasing diversity and a spirit of openness and inclusivity.
You will be reaching out to students, faculty, and senior university personnel (e.g., Vice Chancellors for Diversity and Inclusion) at universities across the country which are hosting public dialogues featuring Tolerance Scholarship winning essayists.
The question that is explored is whether civil rights movements can learn from each other, and how we can become more tolerant of differences. The Law and Dialogue Ambassadors’ job is to be catalytic, supporting the work of the Dialogues.
