For better dialogue, better media, a better future: Join me. This is one small part worth going far.
Southern Dialogues is meant to travel across the fast-changing cultural and economic landscape of the Southern United States, to ask how that change is being worked out by ordinary people living their lives.
Now online:
- New Georgia Voters. Speaking with the New Georgia Project and associated voter registration drives around Atlanta at the close of voter registration. What does it look like to engage with a plural electorate?
- Kentucky Campaign. In 2014 I passed through five Kentucky towns asking if people felt the Senate election has been a productive conversation.
- Chattanooga, Tenn. A leading mid-size city known as the buckle of the Bible belt, the industrial Dyanamo of Dixie, the first city in the Western hemisphere to attain gigabit internet service--which also pioneered the open-meetings approach to public leadership and a public-private development model. Here we can listen first-hand to the experience of Southern cities in this generation.
- Southern Dialogues Profile - Remote Area Medical. Staying over with people coming in as patients and talking with staff in Ooltewah, Tenn.
And of course I am always in conversation for the core pieces in Future Series: Listening to ordinary people and seeking to share.
