A Thank You to Our Student Deliberative Dialogue Moderators

Deliberative dialogue is a meaningful democratic practice where individuals engage in inclusive and non-adversarial conversations that advance collaborative judgment and decision-making. The Democracy Commitment at MCC, MCC Faculty Senate, Department of Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology, and PEACE committee hosted three deliberative dialogues this semester. Each dialogue was moderated by students trained in two MCC courses taught by Dr. Robert Muhlnickel: Global Poverty & Global Justice (Honors 195) and Democracy & Human Rights in Domestic & International Contexts (Philosophy 210).

This semester's student moderators were Safia Alani, Sherinne Cauwels, Chelsea Davis, Nicole Doughty, Torey Richardson, and Jabez Turner. TDC at MCC, Faculty Senate, AHPS, and PEACE committee would like to thank each of these students for their exceptional effort and success. If you know one of these students, please take a moment to thank them for their outstanding work and commitment to reinventing how we discuss our most pressing problems. These students facilitated and moderated three highly engaging and productive dialogues about three difficult issues.
