Course Overview

This course is concerned with the praxis of dialogue. From the theoretical perspective we will look at dialogue through philosophical, psychological, sociological & physiological lenses. The course readings will suggest a movement from broad social, historical, and philosophical perspectives on communication, meaning, and community to focused inquiry into subjective and intersubjective aspects of communication and meaning. The topics of identity, role, self, other, and object will be discussed. This trajectory will encompass global, organizational, and personal perspectives on dialogue. We will also engage in an ongoing dialogue separate and apart from the theoretical and intellectual approach to the topic.

Course Objectives

1. Develop a coherent and robust definition of dialogue;

2. Connect the theory and practice of dialogue to theories and models of change, leadership, communication, intelligence, governance, and systemic models of thought;

3. Learn about your own capacity, style, and motivation for engaging in dialogue through the process of regular recurrent dialogue;

4. Engage in a progressive discussion relating recent and current social and cultural movements with the communicative processes underlying a dialogic interpretation of human relationships;

5. Recognize and link patterns that connect dialogic communication with physical processes & behaviors underlying perceived phenomena;

6. Explore current organizational dilemmas through the lens of dialogic communication;

7. Relate current and historical views of dialogue to spirituality.

Grading
Grades will be roughly based on the following:

Reflection Journal 25%
Please keep a course journal with reflections categorized as readings, class discussions and the group dialogue. It is expected that the journal will form the basis for your final paper and serve as a progressive compendium of thoughts, insights, reflections, and inner dialogue about the course, its intentions, and its effects on you. We will talk about this at our first meeting as well. I would like to read ongoing entries throughout the course. This will require periodic emails to me - on the last day of the course I would like the complete file of reflections.

Class Participation & Readings 25%
Evidence of your immersion in the texts and readings will be manifested by your participation in our class meetings. My criteria for participation is based on speaking, listening, and staying present with the flow of communication. While it is expected that the class will ‘self-regulate’ deviations from respectful and mindful communication it is also part of my rubric to help regulate the equitable and balanced negotiation of ‘air time’ and ‘power inflected’ communications.

Attendance in class is important. If you can’t make a class please let me know in advance. Not making class meetings will affect both the class participation/readings portion of the grade as well as the participation in the dialogue part of the grade. I will make every effort to accommodate special requests if I learn about them in a timely manner.

Readings will also be assigned to individuals & groups for presentation to the class – These presentations will consist of a written outline and summary of the reading for distribution and discussion. Each participant will do a minimum of two such assignments during the semester.

Dialogue Participation 25%
Showing up for the dialogue will result in the awarding of these 25 percentage points.

Final Paper 25%
Your final paper is not to exceed eight (8), doubled-spaced, word-processed pages of text, using the APA format for citing the works of others and references. The topic of your paper is expected to grow out of your reflection journal and can cover any aspect of dialogue that is meaningful and important to you. This is expected to be a scholarly paper in that it should ‘include and transcend’  the works of those whose texts we will read and whose ideas we will explore. It is vital that your paper take off from and utilize selected ideas and concepts of the course readings.

DPLS 772 –Art & Practice of Dialogue: Schedule

Notes on the practice of Dialogue:

Each class meeting will consist of approximately 2 hours of unstructured and open ended dialogue. The intention of this practice is to experience the ebb and flow of thought, feeling, and interaction that accompanies people sitting together with a shared intention of creating shared understanding and meaning.

The dialogue will be ‘lightly’ facilitated by the instructor with the announced intention of holding a space of safety, tolerance, and balance.
