Fall Deliberative Dialogue Series Concludes on Tuesday

The Fall 2021 Deliberative Dialogue Series concludes on Tuesday, November 30th, with a Zoom dialogue titled Free Speech and the Inclusive Campus: How Do We Foster the Campus Community We Want? Deliberative dialogues are unique opportunities to engage in collaborative thinking about pressing public issues. Because dialogues take the form of deliberation, attendees drive the conversation in small groups facilitated by trained moderators. Deliberation is unlike the panel discussions or debates we are accustomed to, as it is highly participatory, egalitarian, and non-adversarial. The foundation of each deliberative dialogue is an issue guide. These guides offer an opportunity to critically explore an issue by putting our personal values at the center of the conversation. Overall, deliberation promotes the listening and talking necessary to have difficult conversations in a democratic society.

See below for more information on Tuesday's Zoom dialogue. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Joe Scanlon (jscanlon1@monroecc.edu).

Free Speech and the Inclusive Campus: How Do We Foster the Campus Community We Want?

Americans are concerned about the balance between speech and student well-being on college campuses. How do we create an environment that reflects our core values? Join us as we deliberate over options that emphasize student well-being, intellectual curiosity, and the ideals of free expression.
