This month, David Dylan Thomas will be presenting his TEDNYC talk, "Design for Productive Discourse".

About the talk:
In the current political climate, it seems like we've all but given up on productive, respectful discourse. However, simple design and content strategy choices can encourage collaboration over conflict, even when dealing with hot-button issues. In this session we'll look at real-world examples of how the way we phrase a question or design and interaction can have a huge impact on the quality of conversation.
