Creative Conversations Transcending Divides through Creative Conversations: How can communities use communication to encourage collaborative problem solving across diverse interests and concerns?
Presented by: Dr. Sara Drury, Wabash College
Sara’s interactive lecture will directly engage the history of Indiana as a crossroads of America, a place where there have always been boundaries-geographic, demographic, socioeconomic - that seem to separate our communities. The question at the heart of the presentation is whether these histories and communities are as divided as they may seem.
Over the course of the session, participants will learn:
some of this history
examine divides in their everyday lives
weigh what values they hold in common or in tension with other Hoosiers
and deliberate different ideas and pathways forward
This type of conversation will leave participants with new skills for understanding and working together to address public problems.
This program has been made possible through Indiana Humanities as part of One State / One Story. One State / One Story: The Year We Left Home is presented by Indiana Humanities in partnership with the Indiana Center for the Book and the Indiana State Library.
PLEASE RSVP YOUR ATTENDANCE. A ZOOM LINK WILL BE SENT TO YOU UPON RESERVING.
