Law Professor Robin Fretwell Wilson is in search of highly motivated undergraduate students who are interested in the law to assist with outreach, pa
rticipant recruitment, communications, and social media for The Tolerance Means Dialogues. This funded series of dialogues around the country is aimed towards finding creative and constructive approaches to bridging difference in our society over issues that have divided us, like gay rights—with the goal being that every voice is heard.
