Listening House is a pop-up listening opportunity dedicated to meaningful dialogue among people seeking to connect and understand each other's perspectives. People can talk one-on-one or in small groups. Listening House will generally have a specified theme, such as politics and the presidential election, immigration, or free speech and activism on campus. We emphasize active listening and asking genuine, curious questions. Listening House is staffed by NH Listens along with local hosts from a community or campus department.
