Yet our colleges and universities are especially well-positioned to offer a civic education that equips students to work through difference and arrive at better solutions to problems. In this timely and thought-provoking talk\, Dean Atkins explores how civic discourse—the practice of deliberating with others as fellow members of a shared community—can be taught and practiced on campus. Drawing from real-life stories in the classroom and beyond\, he shows how higher education may equip students to live\, learn\, and listen as members of our pluralistic democracy. \nRegister for event \nThis event is made possible by a grant from the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership. It is free and open to the public. Live streaming will be available. \nFor more details\, visit Renewing Our Civic Culture resource page.
