Higher education is increasingly focused on fostering civil discourse across all parts of campus. This interactive session, inspired by Campus Compact’s Better Discourse: A Guide for Bridging Campus Divides in Challenging Times, will support faculty and practitioners in examining the diverse and dynamic ways that dialogue and discourse can transform curricular and co-curricular experiences, while also exploring the associated opportunities, boundaries, and tension points. This workshop will begin with stories of challenges related to division and polarization, as well as “what’s working” on college campuses to bridge divides, based on data gathered by Campus Compact. Workshop facilitators will highlight a series of curated field resources, and participants will engage in a collaborative reflective assessment process. Participants will have the 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. They will reflect on the role they play in bringing this work to the forefront across their campus, and leave having experienced dialogue and discourse models, considered campus archetypes and structures, and reflected on how to bring this work to scale. Whether you are new to discourse work or looking to deepen your approach, you will leave with clear strategies, adaptable resources, and the confidence to support better discourse across your campus, further preparing students for thoughtful, inclusive engagement in an increasingly complex world. This session is facilitated by Campus Compact’s Scaling Discourse in Higher Education Fellows, who are all nationally recognized experts in dialogue and deliberation.
