A thank you to our student deliberative dialogue moderators
The Democracy Commitment at MCC, MCC Faculty Senate, and Department of
Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology hosted two deliberative
dialogues this semester. Each dialogue, Safety and Justice: How Should
Communities Reduce Violence and The Future of Work: How Should We
Prepare For the New Economy?, 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). Deliberative dialogue is a meaningful democratic
practice where individuals engage in inclusive and non-adversarial
conversations that advance collaborative judgement and decision-making.
This semester's student moderators were Sherinne Cauwels, Shannon Desell,
Chelsea Davis, Benny Martinez, Maryam Masoud, and Torey Richardson. TDC at MCC,
Faculty Senate, and AHPS would like to thank each of these students for their
exceptional effort and success. If you know 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 two highly engaging and productive dialogues about two difficult
issues.
