DePauw Hosts Intercollegiate Civil Disagreement Partnership Retreat
On August 13-15, The Prindle Institute for Ethics partnered with the Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University and the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society at Stanford University to offer a retreat for undergraduate students on the topic of civil disagreement and dialogue. Over 50 students from campuses all around the country participated as part of the Intercollegiate Civil Disagreement Partnership—Harvard University (MA), Stanford University (CA), St. Philip’s College (TX), Santa Fe College (FL), and California State University Bakersfield (CA). Facilitated by faculty and staff from the Prindle Institute and participating partner institutions, the retreat was focused on how to build community, how to engage in productive dialogue across differences, and how to facilitate difficult conversations on college campuses.
