The
program in Political and Civic Engagement holds an annual Issue Forum, the
spring semester class PACE-C 400 – a one-credit
course that meets only one day and
which has pre- and post-Forum assignments.
This
year’s topic is National Security: America’s Role in the World. Trained
student moderators lead small group deliberation and there will be an expert
panel that interacts with the large group during the Forum.
Participants
from different majors and schools contribute to the diversity of perspectives that
make the Forum a rich experience in democratic deliberation. The majority of
students from last year’s forum reported that they were more optimistic about
‘politics’ after their deliberation practice.
The
Forum will be held on Saturday afternoon, February 22, in Woodburn Hall.
Students may enroll now in PACE-C 400, class #24978.
Further
information on the PACE certificate program is at http://pace.indiana.edu.
I’d be glad to answer any questions.
Thank
you very much for your consideration.
Best
regards,
Joelene
