Dialogic communication focuses on creating space for deep understanding and respectful interaction among individuals with differing perspectives. Drs. Desai and Sabee will provide 2 workshops during the semester to foster skills in dialogic communication. The first workshop will happen immediately following the Free Speech panel discussion on September 19th. During this workshop, students will reflect on the panel discussion and the elements of dialogic communication that they observed. Drs. Desai and Sabee will provide an overview of dialogic communication skills with brief opportunities for practice. The second workshop will occur on October 8th and will provide students an opportunity to engage specifically in dialogic communication with experienced communication coaches. This deep dive into dialogic communication skills is vital preparation for student leaders who hope to engage respectfully with others about controversial issues. Students who complete these workshops will earn recognition for their practice in Dialogic Communication.
