NCDD friends, Windy Lawrence (University of Houston - Downtown) and Lisa-Marie Napoli (Indiana University - Bloomington), will moderate the conversation. From their invitation via the NCDD listserv, "We invite anyone who is interested in learning and brainstorming with others about how dialogue and deliberation offers potential for productive discourse and action for the 2024 election cycle. Many individuals joining will have experience with dialogic and deliberative engagement, but others may not, and may just be concerned and want to help work on this issue." This conversation is sponsored by Indiana University and UHD Center for Public Deliberation.
