Community Conversation: Ethics on Voting
April 5, 2024 - 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around Ethics on Voting, on Friday, April 5th, 2024, from 1:00-2:00.
As we enter election season, many of us are pausing to consider the principles and values that guide our political participation. How do we balance self-interest and the common good? How do we navigate seemingly conflicting “ethical” considerations? This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
About the format.With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Gender-based violence is pervasive and has a significant impact on people and communities, however, there is a general lack of discourse on this public health issue within our field.
