Don Ellis is Professor of Communication at the University of Hartford. The lecture includes discussions of "difficult conversations" that result from narrative particularity and proposes various strategies for intervening in these difficult conversations that promise to unfreeze or close up gaps of incommensurability. Some of these strategies include dialogue, feet-first approaches, counter attitudinal advocacy, reframing, re-categorization, identity widening,and others.
