Biographical / Historical

The 2006-2007 Common Experience will engage in a campus-wide discussion of 'Protest and Dissent: Listening to the Voice(s) of America.' It has at its center the idea that the United States of America is a heterogeneous nation, one with many voices. Rather than the idea that we as a nation have only one perspective or belief, students are encouraged to explore the idea that many people view many ideas in very different ways, and that as students and Americans it is their responsibility to recognize that others have a right to dissent from both their own personal beliefs and the beliefs of those in power. Further, they also have the right to dissent from others' beliefs as well. How we respond to and listen to those whose beliefs are different than our own is, however, key.
