Description
You are invited to participate in a new series of civil dialogues, launched by Arena Stage. These dialogues seek to provide an opportunity for members of the Washington, DC metropolitan community to engage in discourse about major current issues. They also seek to demonstrate that people of very diverse viewpoints can have fruitful dialogues with one another. We hence assume that all participants have consented to heed the rules of civil dialogue, such as not attributing motives, not demonizing the other side, and showing that they truly listen to the other. There will be a few dialogue starters (names to be announced) but most of the time will be dedicated to give and take among the participants. The dialogues will be moderated by Amitai Etzioni. Monday, March 26 – Exploring the thesis that surveillance is excessive and privacy is endangered both by the government and by private corporations Monday, April 23 – Exploring what we owe other people Tuesday, May 29 – Exploring the future of race relations in America Located in the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. There will be a pre-dialogue reception before each event, starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Grand Lobby.
