Are we persuadable? --- I'm always particularly interested in whether participating in these discussions in good faith means that we have to be open to being convinced ourselves. Where does self-reflection, listening and change sit within theories of persuasion? I suppose that would be in the communication literature around various forms of symmetrical/asymmetrical communication (which might be outside the realms of this course, but useful to consider).
