Traveling Chautauquas at MSU

In 2007, Michigan State University began a program of "Traveling Chautauqua." Each semester, MSU students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the community engage in weekly dialogue. The Chautauqua project at MSU began with the Association of American Colleges and Universities' Core Commitments Initiative.
Past Chautauquas include:
Sustainability and Human Rights (Spring of 2008)
MLK: Equality and Justice (Fall 2008, Spring 2009)
Common Fire (Spring 2009)
Creativity, Economic Development, and Ethics (current)

The 21C Wiki
|
|
The 21st Century Traveling Chautauqua Wiki is a collaborative dialogue and discourse space designed to both facilitate continuing discussions that begin at traveling Chautauqua meetings and to continue the central project of the traveling Chautauqua: to foster useful and meaningful dialogue about relevant topics. This wiki wants to adopt the guiding principles of our dialogues to this digital medium and take advantages of the affordances of the technology to help us understand other perspectives and appreciate the complexities of today’s issues.
