Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Laurie Mulvey and Dr. Sam Richards unwittingly began what would become a lifelong project—learning to embrace the seemingly irreconcilable differences between them. Conversation was the centerpiece of their personal odyssey, and it became the foundation of the World in Conversation Project.

This kind of engagement has the power to build real alliances.
