We live in divisive and polarizing times, often remaining in comfortable social bubbles and experiencing few genuine interactions with people who are different or with whom we disagree. Stepping out and turning to one another is difficult but necessary. For our democracy to thrive at a time when we face wicked problems that involve tough trade-offs it is vital that all citizens participate fully in the process. We need to learn to listen, think, and act with others to solve public problems. This collaborative task begins with creating space for democracy. This book provides a guide for doing so on campus through deliberation and dialogue. At the most basic level, this book describes collaborative and relational work to engage with others and co-create meaning. Specifically, dialogue and deliberation are processes in which a diverse group of people moves toward making a collective decision on a difficult public issue. This primer offers a blueprint for achieving the civic mission of higher education by incorporating dialogue and deliberation into learning at colleges and universities. It opens by providing a conceptual framework, with leading voices in the dialogue and deliberation field providing insights on issues pertinent to college campuses, from free speech and academic freedom to neutrality and the role of deliberation in civic engagement. Subsequent sections describe a diverse range of methods and approaches used by several organizations that pioneered and sustained deliberative practices; outline some of the many ways in which educators and institutions are using dialogue and deliberation in curricular, co-curricular, and community spaces, including venues such as student centers, academic libraries, and residence halls. All of the chapters, including a Resource Section, provide readers with a starting point for conceptualizing and implementing their own deliberation and dialogue initiatives. This book, intended for all educators who are concerned about democracy, imparts the power and impact of public talk, offers the insights and experiences of leading practitioners, and provides the grounding to adopt or adapt the models in their own settings to create educative spaces and experiences that are humanizing, authentic, and productive. It is an important resource for campus leaders, student affairs practitioners, librarians, and centers of institutional diversity, community engagement, teaching excellence and service-learning, as well as faculty, particularly those in the fields of communication studies, education, and political science"-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Democracy and education $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Higher $x Aims and objectives $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Higher $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Communication in higher education $z United States. 650 7 $a Citizenship $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861932 650 7 $a Education, Higher. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903005 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Communication $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870017 650 7 $a Democracy $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890111 653 $a Political discourse 700 1 $a Longo, Nicholas V., $d 1974- $e editor. 700 1 $a Shaffer, Timothy J., $d 1982- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Creating space for democracy $d Sterling : Stylus Publishing, 2019. $z 9781620369289 $w (DLC) 2019040799 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020410.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20191204011330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB710044166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
