Dartmouth Events

The 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle, like other recent political moments, is likely to be experienced by many as highly charged, keenly personal, and deeply divisive, regardless of one’s political views. Such collective experiences can threaten the interactions, relationships, and activities of any community, and the teaching and learning communities in our classrooms and on our campus are no exception.

Join us for a listening circle to connect with colleagues about teaching on the days following the 2024 election. Listening circles, rooted in indigenous cultures and supported by principles of restorative justice, offer space for expressing, listening, processing, and connecting on events and issues that challenge or affect a community. 

During this circle experience, facilitators will pose questions to prompt the discussions, then participants will have the opportunity to speak while sharing the responsibility of listening deeply to one another.

This event is being held in person, and lunch will be provided. Masks are welcome but not required, and lunch will be available "to go" for those who prefer not to eat with others. If you are sick, please do not attend. If you cannot attend due to illness or disability, please email us at least 48 hours in advance at dcal@dartmouth.edu to discuss possible accommodations. Thank you!
