AAHE Community of Practice #3
Democratic Dialogue: Discussion, Dialogue, and Deliberation as Learning to Change Tools
--"This AAHE Community of Practice draws seasoned academic practitioners who have studied and experienced "'what works” in community dialogues, activities such as intergroup dialogues, study circles, town meetings and issues forums, values inquiry, and online exchanges. It also welcomes newcomers who share the view that campuses should be communities of discourse where the process of addressing an issue mirrors what we hope will be our standard practices in public life. Facilitator: Nancy Thomas, the Society for Values in Higher Education’s Democracy Project."
