Upcoming Deliberative Dialogue: Safety & Justice: How Should Communities Reduce Violence?
Safety & Justice: How Should Communities Reduce Violence?
Community safety is a point of concern, and recent trends make discussions about community safety and equitable treatment essential. Join us as we deliberate over options that emphasize enforcing the law together, fair application of the law, and violence prevention and de-escalation.

Deliberative dialogues are unique opportunities to engage in collaborative thinking about pressing public issues. Because each dialogue takes the form of deliberation, attendees drive the conversation in small groups facilitated by trained moderators. Deliberation is unlike panel discussions or debates. It is highly participatory, egalitarian, and non-adversarial. The foundation of each dialogue is an issue guide. These guides offer an opportunity to critically explore an issue and discuss options to address the issue while also putting our values at the center of the conversation. If you would like an advance copy of an issue guide or have questions, please email Joe Scanlon (jscanlon1@monroecc.edu). The last dialogue of the semester will take place on November 16th as part of International Education Week. More information is below.
America's International Relations: What Obligations Do We Have to the International Community?
While there is disagreement over America's role in the world. the Russia-Ukraine war renewed our thinking about America's obligations to the international community. Join us as we deliberate over options that emphasize prioritizing domestic politics, asserting our power to address global problems, and the need to cooperate with other states and international organizations.
11/16/22, 11:45 to 1pm, Main Dinning Hall (Brighton Campus)
