2023 DDNRC Conference | Choosing Dialogue: Mapping the Course Through Difficult Conversations

Description

We are living in an age of increasing polarization and anger in our public discourse which often reinforces hostile modes of interaction with people who hold different viewpoints. This polarization has impacted our ability to work within and between communities.  Dialogues help deepen understanding of personal, group and intergroup relationship issues. Many people across the nation and world are wrestling with questions about how to engage with others who do not share the same values and/or identities and feel helpless around authentic engagement when we can’t even agree on basic facts for an informed dialogue. Further, many wrestle with how we can support respectful, transformative dialogue in face-to-face meetings, online contexts, and in physical and virtual classrooms.

 

We believe that dialogue and dialogic methods of engagement are critical for addressing society’s most pressing challenges. As such, the June 2023 conference will feature presentations, workshops, and roundtable dialogues aligning with the following themes: 1) Building Community, 2) Dialogue to Foster Change, and the 3) Benefits of Dialogue.
