Upcoming Dialogues

Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are all invited to participate in a Community Dialogue on the topic of the L&C Pioneer Mascot.

How do you seek to bring about change for the better in your community and/or the larger world? What actions–large or small–do you take to promote your values and reimagine the future? This dialogue will launch as part of the 2023 Ray Warren Symposium.

There are currently no upcoming Community Dialogues on Making the Change. Check back for updates or reach out if you’d like to join one and we’ll make it happen!

How is the conflict in Gaza and Israel, and other peoples’ reactions to it, impacting you? Let’s talk about it. Whether you are more or less actively involved in responding in the LC community to the on-going news about the conflict, we want you to feel welcome to come talk and listen in a small, confidential, structured dialogue.

The violence that has spiked in Gaza and Israel in recent weeks is clearly having an impact across the world, including on our Lewis & Clark community. The news about the conflict itself, as well as the responses to it on and off campus, evoke a range of thoughts, emotions, and actions.

We believe it is vital for us at this time to have opportunities to be in thoughtful dialogue with each other to reduce tensions, engage with each other deeply around the complexities of our experiences, and to understand how our actions impact each other. Engaging in this way can help us build resilience for listening and speaking to understand, even when we disagree, and reinforces our communal strength. This dialogue will launch following a Teach In on Palestine and Israel.

Students, staff, and faculty are all welcome.

 

Launched as follow up to events on this theme during the 2022-23 academic year, these conversations provide an opportunity for community members to reflect on their sense of belonging in their lives and on our campus.

In collaboration with Kim Brodkin, Director of Gender Studies Symposium, Director of Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies, and Associate Professor with Term of Humanities, we developed Community Dialogue opportunities focused on themes relating to gender, which launched late spring 2023 as part of this year’s Gender Studies Symposium.
