Cheyenne Donaghy, a junior at Detroit International Academy for Women, Autumn Brown, an Oklahoma State University aspiring Ph.D. candidate, and Keyshawn King, a Stanford University Class of 2022 member tackle questions-of-curiosity.

Interviewing them are Braver Angels’ Donna Lee, David Joseph, and Carlos Hernandez.

Keeping the potentially hostile faculty member on your PhD committee was an act of genuine courage. You have taken the opportunity to break the cycle of stereotyping and open up the academic conversation. Stay true to your sources; document exhaustively; treat opposing views with respect. You will win the day.
