Community Conversations at Lawrence University are a series of structured dialogues that facilitate authentic communication across some critical area of perceived difference. The purpose is to practice civil deliberation while promoting greater intergroup understanding and trust. We want to help participants begin to move beyond political orthodoxies in order to see ourselves as diverse, but related, travelers on life’s journey together with shared concerns and values. It will also serve as a basis for developing collaborative strategies to increase the well-being, civility and participation of people across the political spectrum in all aspects of life on our campus.
