BUILDING A DYNAMIC CULTURE OF TRUST

AND FEARLESS COLLABORATION

Arguing across diverse viewpoints for solutions and understanding is a skill and an art that can be learned.

THE CHALLENGE

Intellectual debate should build community and pride on a campus. Diverse worlds need intellectual disagreements. They’re how we learn, innovate, and grow.

But without cultural protocols, disagreements can become personal and corrode the academic freedom and trust institutions work so hard to foster.

Students fear being canceled for offering an opinion in class.
Faculty worry about backlash for teaching material they consider to be essential.
Boards of Governors bring together members with immense skills and diverse viewpoints, but can’t seem to bring together their competing ideas to forge collective decisions.
Administrators and DEI leaders propose initiatives to tackle these problems, but divisive disagreements continue to resurge.

OUR TOOLS

Trusted by Educators

"What is phenomenal in my mind is that they've used technology in exactly the right way, given the educational process, because in order to learn critical thinking, you need to practice extensively and you need immediate feedback, and you need to do it on your own over and over and over."

About Us

ThinkerAnalytix is an education non-profit organization spun out of the Harvard University Department of Philosophy. Why philosophy? For philosophers, disagreement is expected, even invited, to tackle seemingly impossible problems. History shows that the best learning happens through disagreement that is inquisitive, respectful, and fearless.

We leverage thousands of years of pedagogy from philosophy and custom education technology to offer a portfolio of courses and programs that teach productive disagreement as an essential part of learning and working communities.
