2008 INSTITUTE ON COLLEGE STUDENT VALUES

Theme: “Creating Campus Conversations: Finding Common Values Across Diverse Campus Cultures”
Authentic conversations about cultural differences and religious pluralism are increasingly rare on college campuses. Civil dialogue too often gives way to polarizing confrontation about differences. Some topics on campus have become too hot to handle and avoidance has replaced engagement as the norm of campus life as suggested by the title of a forthcoming book by Nash, Bradley and Chickering, Rekindling the Fire of Conversation: How to Dialogue about "Hot" Topics Across Campus Without Getting Burned.

The 2008 Institute on College Student Values will examine strategies for creating more authentic campus conversations about the many cultural and religious differences that are represented in today's colleges and universities and explore ways to find common values in a time of polarizing differences.
