Hotlines and Open Minds: A Conversation with Shira Hoffer
Description
In this episode, Anthony and I speak with Harvard Undergraduate Shira Hoffer. Shira is the founder of The Hotline for Israel/Palestine, a resource for people to ask questions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict anonymously and get well-researched, nuanced answers in return. She is also the founder of The Institute for Multipartisan Education, a 501(c)(3) organization that, per the website, offers “education consulting services to teachers, professors, and administrators looking to foster dialogue and curious and constructive disagreement, improve the quality of discourse, or initiate culture shifts toward curiosity inside and out of their classrooms.”
And somehow, she still finds time to focus on her studies! Shira is majoring in Social Studies and Religion and is currently working on a thesis that investigates how campus speech culture affects religious students.
