The PACE Issue Forum is a one credit, one-day experience in democratic deliberation. The course provides students with an opportunity to explore a timely and contentious public issue through multiple perspectives, while cultivating the skills of effective communication, active citizenship, and group deliberation. As part of the experience, students listen to and interact with an expert panel on the topic to spark a greater understanding of the issue and move toward solutions by developing ideas and possible actions.

The fall 2020 topic is "Partisan Politics: Challenges and Opportunities for Democracy in Trying Times."

Instructor: Dr. Lisa-Marie Napoli, PACE Director
