In this compelling episode of The Whole Student, hosts Kal Balaven and Mo Pritzker welcome Irshad Manji, New York Times Bestselling Author and founder of the Moral Courage College, for a transformative conversation. Kal begins by sharing a candid and somewhat "embarrassing" story: in 2008, based on secondhand information, he attempted to "cancel" Irshad, believing her to be an "Islamophobe." This episode documents Kal's journey from that misperception to a deep appreciation for Irshad's work. A returning guest from Season 1, Irshad shares her insights on the crucial difference between belonging and groupthink, emphasizing the importance of voluntary affiliation over community ownership. She delves into practical strategies for cultivating moral courage, navigating today's cancel culture, and building trust in a divided society. Key themes include: The power of listening: Irshad stresses the importance of meeting people where they are, asking genuine questions, and building trust through active listening. Navigating the "Anger Highway": The conversation explores how to move beyond reactive emotions and engage in constructive dialogue. Confident humility: Irshad highlights the paradox of standing your ground while creating common ground, and trusting the validity of your own experiences without being threatened by others. The role of education: The episode underscores the need to equip students with the skills to engage in healthy conversations and build bridges across differences. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of open dialogue, critical thinking, and the courage to challenge our own assumptions. Join Kal, Mo, and Irshad as they explore how we can foster a more inclusive and understanding world.

Americans no longer feel safe to speak their minds. The levels of self-silencing in the country rival that of Mccarthyism in the late 1940s – or higher, says research scientist Todd Rose. Our social trust is non-existent, so much so that many are opting out of sharing their opinions altogether, making way for those at the extremes to be the dominant voices. But just because the most vocal want something, doesn't mean that the rest of the country shares this ideology. In fact, our brains mistake this extremist noise for consensus, reinforcing the lie that this is what we must believe. ----------------------------------------------------- Here's why this social silence must be changed. Why it's healthy to invite in other points of view – even if they differ from yours. ----------------------------------- This is The Dilemma with Irshad Manji, a series from Big Think created in partnership with Moral Courage College. ------------------------------- About Irshad Manji: Irshad Manji is an award-winning educator, author, and advocate for moral courage and diversity of thought.

Can our ego manipulate and stop us from being open to new perspectives, and how do we overcome it?

Here's how to end an angry conflict in 8 minutes, with @IrshadManjiTV. Educator Irshad Manji emphasizes that diversity is a fact of life, and it should be harnessed to unite society rather than divide it. Recognizing that humans tend to react defensively to opposing views, she offers five key skills to promote constructive conversations. These include 1) taking deep breaths to facilitate rational thinking, 2) intentionally establishing common ground, 3) genuinely inquiring about the other person's perspective, 4) actively listening to learn rather than to win, and 5) encouraging further dialogue by asking "Tell me more." Adopting these skills can lead to healthier outcomes in contentious conversations and foster collaboration. Ultimately, an individual's ability to engage in productive discussions depends on their motivation. It is essential to reflect on one's intentions, choosing between a genuine desire to solve problems or a need to assert moral superiority. Only by making the right choice can we hope to harness the power of diversity for the greater good. chapters: 0:00 Our defensive brains 1:52 How ‘slam dunking' backfires 3:05 The 5-part toolkit 3:27 Skill #1: Breathe deeply (give your brain oxygen) 4:06 Skill #2: Create common ground 4:40 Skill #3: Ask a sincere question 5:16 Skill #4: Listen to learn 6:15 Skill #5: “Tell me more” 7:31 The most uncomfortable question ------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Irshad Manji: In Arabic, Irshad means “guidance.” My mission: to teach a critical mass of people the skills of moral courage — doing the right thing in the face of our fears. This mission has been a life-long journey. Growing up in a violent household, I made a commitment to use my education for good. That meant thinking for myself. At my Islamic school, I challenged dogma and got expelled at age 14. Later, studying Islam on my own, I made a truly surprising discovery: It's possible to reconcile faith with freedom. That discovery led me to write two internationally best-selling books about reforming Islam. I recently launched my latest book, Don't Label Me, about how to heal the Us-versus-Them divisions that are ripping apart America and much of the world. In all that I am and all that I do, I stand for the responsibility to ask questions — and the right to do so, free from fear. Get Smarter Faster, With Daily Episodes From The Worlds Biggest Thinkers.

Extreme physical and emotional abuse from her father at home drove Irshad Manji to seek education as a means to help people. Her high school drama teacher restored her faith in the goodness of humanity. Now, the author and lecturer teaches moral courage in the interest of healing political, racial, and cultural divides. Hear more of her inspirational journey on a special holiday episode of The Whole Student.

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 In this one-of-a-kind session, Irshad Manji will take your questions about faltering relationships — in your family, among your friends, with your co-workers, or in society at large — and coach you to repair them by listening to understand and speaking to be understood. What does this have to do with diversity? Everything. Honest diversity isn't about labeling people according to race, gender, religion, sexuality, disability, or any other group marker. Instead, true diversity is about communicating with one another so that different points of view are heard, acknowledged, and appreciated, despite being disagreed with. Welcome to Irshad's no-shaming technique of creating unity without uniformity. Irshad will begin the session with an overview of the Moral Courage Method, a simple, science-backed approach to dealing with any polarized situation. She will then invite participants to put her teachings to the test. They will pose surprise questions about the divisions that are rocking their own lives. Irshad will mentor them to build and exercise their moral courage, all the while encouraging every participant (not just those asking the questions) to voice their doubts, skepticism, and challenges to her teachings. In that way, Irshad will also role-model how to have constructive conversations in the midst of disagreements. This session will wrap up with concrete tools and tips for starting and sustaining difficult dialogues. The bottom line? Any diversity that does not make peace with the existence of different opinions is merely a cosmetic diversity; one that is fixated on skin color and other superficialities. By contrast, the Moral Courage Method shows how we can transcend labels to humanize ourselves and each other, cultivating common ground even when we stand our ground. At Irshad's request, all proceeds from this session went to the Maggie Fleming Animal Hospice in Scotland. --- The recipient of Oprah Winfrey's first annual “Chutzpah Award” for boldness, Irshad Manji inspires and equips people to have honest, non-judgemental conversations about issues that polarize. Although she is an internationally bestselling author, her books are banned in many countries — which has intrigued a new generation to learn her techniques for effective communication. Irshad's latest book, Don't Label Me, is a primer on how to do diversity without inflaming the culture wars. (Fun fact: The comedian Chris Rock labels it “genius.”) A professor of leadership at New York University for many years, Irshad is now the founder of Moral Courage College.

The first episode of The New Liberals was recorded just over a year ago. We've talked about a range of subjects since then - from nuclear power, to mRNA vaccines, from Maslow's hierarchy of needs to Montessori's method, just to name a few. But a recurring theme of the podcast - guest after guest - has been identity. How do we understand ourselves and how do we understand one another? How do we create a diversity that strives for common ground while respecting the very things that make us who we are? How do we speak truth to the power of our ego when it threatens to get in the way of progress? Bestselling author and founder of the Moral Courage Project Irshad Manji shows others how to have the courage to do exactly that.Don't Label Me: How to Do Diversity Without Inflaming the Culture Wars, by Irshad ManjiMoral Courage ProjectMoral Courage ED - Diversity Without DivisionIrshad Manji on Firing Line, with Margaret Hoover - Video30: Resolving Conflict, with Amanda Ripley - The New LiberalsWhy the Writer Richard Rodriguez Refuses to Be Put Into a Box - American MagazineJonathan's Past Experience with "Diversity and Inclusion" - Twitter Threadirshadmanji.com@IrshadManji----------Email: newliberalspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @NewLiberalsPod

Is it possible to seek diversity without labeling others?

Now is not the time to relax protective measures, and the CDC has done just that while we are still in the midst of the deadliest pandemic in a century.

In this Hold my Drink + Counterweight Podcast , David Bernstein and I speak with Irshad Manji, author of Don't Label Me and Founder of Moral Courage. She shares with us her revolutionary methods for creating community and "honest diversity". Moral Courage reaches beyond our differences to build on our commonalities. It welcomes disagreement and seeks engagement to produce actionable steps towards an enduring diversity. All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, and a cucumber vodka concoction (milk + protein for Irshad).

Are provincial and federal whistleblower protections really "toothless and useless"? David Hutton, Ian Bron, and James Turk from Ryerson University's Centre for Free Expression lay out their message to the Alberta government, and explain why they're so concerned about the legislative review currently underway. How do we demonstrate "moral courage in messy times"?

In this episode, we sit down with Irshad Manji and discuss her latest book Don't Label Me. We dive into how we can avoid making snap judgments about not only people we disagree with but also those we agree with. We use real-world examples to show how you can prevent small cues from making massively problematic assumptions about the world and those around you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Diversity of viewpoint is the essence of democracy. Which is why we won't save democracy by putting labels such as “racist” on those who support the Trumps of our time. A truly new global order requires a new way to tribe out. Enter Irshad Manji and her dog, Lily. Raised to believe that dogs are evil, Manji overcame her fear of the “other” to adopt Lily. She got more than she bargained for. Defying her labels as an old, blind dog, Lily engages Manji in a taboo-busting conversation about identity, power, and politics. They're feisty. They're funny. And in working through their challenges with each other, they reveal how to open the hearts of opponents for the sake of enduring progress. Readers who crave concrete tips will be delighted. Studded with insights from epigenetics and epistemology, layered with the lessons of Bruce Lee, Ben Franklin, and Audre Lorde, punctuated with stories about Manji's own experiences as a refugee from Africa, a Muslim immigrant to the United States, and a professor of moral courage, Don't Label Me makes diversity great again.

All parents remember how annoying it can be when a baby drops their pacifier on the floor. Whenever it happens, parents face a choice. First time parents typically opt for the hazmat suit route, carrying the pacifier to the kitchen and sanitizing it in boiling water. By the time your fourth kid comes around, you pick it up, you may or may not suck on it, and then give it back to your son or daughter. Not that I speak from experience or anything. Well, as it turns out, the second option may actually be better for the baby. According to a 2013 Swedish study, parents who just sucked binkies clean and gave them back ended up with kids who had measurably fewer incidences of eczema. A 2016 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Amish children, who grew up on traditional farms with animals, had dramatically lower rates of asthma compared with children raised in more sterile environments. In fact, a surprising amount of evidence suggests that exposure to some germs is good for children and can stave off autoimmune diseases and allergies later in life. As all the first-time parents prepare to send me hate mail, let me just say that this is true intellectually, too. Just as exposure to foreign microbes is critical in developing a healthy and responsive immune system, exposure to foreign ideas is critical in developing a healthy and responsive mind—and, dare I say, a resilient worldview. That's what Irshad Manji thinks. The author of “Don't Label Me: An Incredible Conversation for Divided Times,” Manji was featured on TIME magazine's website this month making her simple but countercultural argument. In an age when everyone seems to be offended, learning how not to have that allergic reaction to differing viewpoints is a crucial life skill—one she thinks schools ought to be teaching. Considering how fragile students have become at our nation's Universities, it's hard to argue with her. For years now, conservative college speakers have been greeted by raging protests when students find out that those speakers don't conform to a narrow set of politically correct views. More often than not, school administrators cave, and speakers get disinvited. Sometimes they're even chased off or shouted down. Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Charles Murray are just a few recent examples. Even the Huffington Post admitted that so-called “safe spaces” on campus are making students more intolerant by insulating them from diverse ideas and views—which ironically, are precisely what higher education is supposed to offer! Reactions to differing opinions have gotten so intense that USA Today reports that many universities in 2018 didn't even allow controversial speakers. Manji thinks that's a tragedy. I agree. She says being offended from time to time is part of how we learn to be truly tolerant. “Giving offense is the price of diversity,” she tells TIME, “not an impediment to diversity.” Manji is mainly addressing secular liberals at TIME and in her book but, as a reform-minded Muslim, she knows what it looks like when new ideas are treated as a threat. She's very open about how her views on women's rights and freedom of speech and religion have gotten her in trouble with those who share her faith. And standing up to more traditional Muslims has prepared her to stand up to insulated progressives who would rather shut down those with different views than hear them out. “Schools are teaching young people how not to be offensive,” she says, but “they also need to be teaching a new generation how not to be offended.” I imagine that this author and I would disagree on a lot of things, but it sounds like she'd be great at it! The value she's espousing is right at home in a Christian worldview. After all, we affirm that those with whom we disagree aren't mere “mascots” for ideas they hold but are first and foremost creations of God with objective value—image-bearers worth engaging, loving and persuading. Years of exposing Christian kids to alternative ideas and teaching at Summit Ministries has taught me first-hand how it leaves young people more confident in their beliefs, and more able to talk across worldview lines. They end up better prepared to give that reason for the hope that's in them, and less dependent than many of their secular peers on sterile safe spaces free of disagreement.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs issued a news release that UBCIC Stands with Jody Wilson Raybould. However in recent days, a number of indigenous Chiefs across Canada have expressed disappointment that JWR declined an offer from Justin Trudeau to become the Indigenous Affairs Minister. Roy is joined by Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the UBCIC, to discuss the JWR/Trudeau/SNC-Lavalin situation. Pierre Poilievre, CPC MP and Finance critic writes in a new opinion piece that the federal government can lift a government contract procurement ban on convicted corporate criminals with the stroke of a pen. In fact, the Trudeau government had already done with SNC in December, 2015, even though they had already been banned for the original corruption charges. MP Poilievre elaborates on this. Irshad Manji is the Canadian winner of Oprah's Chutzpah Award, a bestselling author, winner of the World Economic Forum 'Young Global Leader' award and founder of the Moral Courage Project. Manji's new book, ‘Don't Label Me,' is a guide for fostering dialogue and celebrating diversity in our politically polarized climate. Did Jody Wilson-Raybould drop the ball by not reporting PMO/PM interference over SNC immediately? Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch, addressed this in a Toronto Star op ed column. He argues that as Attorney General for Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould should have reported to the RCMP that she was being interfered with as soon as the interference from PMO/Trudeau began. - Guests: Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the UBCIC Pierre Poilievre, CPC MP, Finance Critic.
