"Safe Spaces should allow all to feel comfortable + accepted but I wonder if they only enable the dominant group to feel safe?"
"Arao + Clemens (2013?) address the idea of brave spaces + instead of using language like agree to disagree- use controversy with civility + all should own their intentions + their impact. What do other think?"
"To disagree while staying friendly is an art or skill that can be taught. Discrimination is also a learned behavior. Make a brave space around you; teach active, constructive peace by example.
