BoulderTalks: Building community through communication

When can communication heal political division and help us hear more diverse voices? In what ways are communication practices—speaking, writing, listening, sharing—vital to student success and empowerment? What forums are necessary to rise to the challenge of important yet controversial social issues? 

Faculty from BoulderTalks, a center of the Department of Communication, address society’s cultural crises, conflicts and challenges through research methods and democratic practices such as debate, dialogue and deliberation. Through dialogues at the Diversity and Inclusion Summit, storytelling with StoryTalk, and deliberation at the city of Boulder’s Neighborhood Summit, BoulderTalks furthers communication and understanding of complex issues among people of all backgrounds.

Diversity and Inclusion Summit

BoulderTalks is offering four dialogue sessions for this year.
