Can we learn to disagree well? Professor Jennifer Hudson, vice-provost at University College London answers One Question

Professor Jennifer Hudson joins Sarah to explore the role of leadership in higher education, and the balance between academic achievement and shaping future leaders in a time of cultural shifts, innovation, and uncertainty.

Post-pandemic, higher education is undergoing rapid change, juggling economic pressures with a growing demand to rethink what learning should look like in 2025.

How do we balance curiosity and critical thinking with the ability to disagree well—against a backdrop of cancel culture, polarised media, and a divided society? How do we redefine success for a generation entering the workforce with new expectations? How do ensure democracy serves all future voters? 

These are big questions the education system at large is grappling with and this conversation lends itself to some provocative, honest answers.
