Bring faculty and community leaders into productive interaction with the Conflict Resolution Center Help all attendees think about what our public dialogues should be like and what our own role can be in creating a productive tenor Explore the causes of public incivility from multiple perspectives (psychological, sociological, political, historical) and Afford attendees practical means to engage in civil dialogue. Build an awareness of and educate on the increasing incivility in our society: why its happening, where its happening, whos it happening to/with, the impact its having, and what can we do about it to change? Bring awareness to causes of conflict in public discourse, the impact of the lack of civility in dialog, and to find ways to bring peace into these conversations.
