Hannah Arendt Center presents:
Workshop on Dialogue and Deliberation: Advocating For Democracy
Friday, November 14, 2025
Arendt Center
2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
This event occurs on:
Fri. November 14, 2 pm – 5 pm
The Hannah Arendt Center Dialogue Project and Democracy Innovation Hub are offering a 2-part workshop on dialogue and deliberation that is both experiential and intellectual, with the purpose of advocating for democracy.
The processes of dialogue and deliberative democracy align with Hannah 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.
Speaking in the public realm is an act of courage and provides a plurality of views for all to “go visiting.” Good will is the basis for deciding whether to engage, or not. Creating political spaces as the practice of democracy, especially now, embodies Arendt’s conviction that it is possible to create a common world and to make judgments for the common good.
Open Bard students only. Spaces are limited. Participation is sponsored by the Democracy Innovation Hub at the Hannah Arendt Center.
