What does civil discourse mean to you? What are the possibilities and limitations of dialogue across lines of difference? How can your campus engage in better discourse? This engaging and interactive preconference session will guide participants through a series of reflective practices informed by the recently released resource, “Better Discourse: A Guide for Bridging Campus Divides in Challenging Times.” The workshop will begin with stories of the challenges with regard to division and polarization, as well as “what’s working” on college campuses to bridge divides based on data gathered by Campus Compact. A series of curated field resources will also be highlighted, and participants will engage in a collaborative, reflective assessment process. Participants will also have an opportunity to explore topics such as the importance of civil discourse; how to move from initial projects to broader impact; ways to integrate discourse work in curricular and co-curricular settings; and how to build campus-wide support. We encourage participants to attend this preconference with others from their campus to collectively reflect, discuss, and begin creating ways to scale their institution’s dialogue and discourse work. Campus Compact’s Scaling Discourse in Higher Education Project Fellows, who are all nationally recognized dialogue and deliberation experts, will facilitate this collaborative session.
