Institution:

Clark University

Subject:

Description:

If you want an opportunity to deepen your understanding and experience of dialogue, consider taking the Dialogue Seminar offered as part of the Difficult Dialogues Initiative. Each section of this half-credit course will be led by a faculty member paired with experienced DD fellows. The course will include a small set of readings on dialogue, but will focus on in-class dialogues that draw from the experiences and issues raised by the public events in the Difficult Dialogues fall symposium. The course includes readings and short papers, and attendance at 6 to 8 DD symposia events over the course of the semester is a requirement of the class. Symposium topic for the fall of 2012: The End of Things This semester we will focus on issues of death, extinction, and renewal. Notions of apocalypse, dystopian futures, and cataclysmic (or transformative) natural events recur in our popular culture and film, some with a focus on the year 2012. While some are speculative and superstitious, others reflect the serious challenges to our political and economic systems, and the natural environment.
