Better Discourse—A Guide for Bridging Campus Divides in Challenging Times

Posted by Campus Compact on July 30, 2024

Better Discourse: A Guide for Bridging Campus Divides in Challenging Times is a new, back-to-campus starter kit that explores how campuses can engage in inclusive, constructive dialogue—better discourse—ahead of what many expect to be an uncertain and potentially tumultuous 2024–2025 academic year.

This guide offers pragmatic and action-oriented recommendations that can quickly implement better discourse on your campus.

  • Prompts for reflection to help us deeply examine ourselves and our contexts, discern our paths, and find allies to advance better discourse
  • Advice for asset mapping and leveraging existing campus and external resources
  • References to tools, policies, and evidence-based practices tailored to a variety of campus goals
  • Resources for addressing current issues, like the Israel-Palestine conflict, the 2024 U.S. election, and racial justice
