Hannah Arendt Center presents:
Dialogue and Deliberation: Advocating for Democracy
Wednesday, November 18, 2026
Online Event
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
This event occurs on:
Wed. November 18, 1 pm – 2:30 pm
The question we are asking is: What is democracy and how do we advocate to strengthen it? These virtual dialogue sessions on November 18 & December 16 1-2:30 p.m. EST will highlight basic concepts of dialogue and deliberation as we identify those principles of democracy that we hold dear. The processes of dialogue and deliberative democracy align with Arendt's concept of the political, where everyone is seen and heard. In dialogue the purpose is communication itself, in deliberation, the group must come together to make judgments. By creating political spaces in which we can continue to discover, define, and practice democracy, especially in this historical moment, we embody Arendt’s conviction that it is possible to share a common world and to make judgments for the common good.
