English term or phrase: tackling hard
Dans ce contexte
Tackling hard signifie normalement "lutter contre", mais dans la dernière phrase, l'auteur demande à ce que ces conversations aient lieu.

We must listen to the black and people of color communities, and think of ways to facilitate relationships across divide, across spaces that delimit and define who should have access to those spaces or whose voice should count in the larger scheme of things on campus.
I would like the Congress being more receptive to tackling hard uncomfortable conversations on anti-Black racism, on racial injustice, even in the academy.
What are the steps you are going to put in place to make these conversations become real and lasting within the university community?

Explanation:
le sens de "to tackle" c'est cela. "Hard" va avec "conversations". La phrase doit se lire:
to tackle (verbe)... quoi ? hard conversations (objet)

Le congrès devrait se montrer plus réceptif à l'idée de se lancer dans//entamer des conversations difficiles
