![]() ![]() ![]() Wednesday, Febru7-8:30 pm in Muskie Part 2 of 3 Citizenship: Who is Included? Who is Excluded? Why? This session considers the origins of citizenship including the rights and responsibilities of states to citizens and citizens to states. Where did the concept come from? And how do contemporary notions of citizenship vary around the world? We believe this kind of programming flexibility will allow us to best serve the community and ensure that Lingua Franca remains vital, intellectually stimulating, and a forum in which difference of opinion is nurtured, explored, and valued. In other circumstances, the forum may be best-suited to only small group discussion. For instance, we imagine that some discussion topics will benefit from initial framing by a panel of experts in the field, and so we may host a short panel prior to breaking into small group discussions. Our goal is to retain ultimate flexibility with regard to our format for each Lingua Franca forum in order to foster effective conversations between peers. Forum topics will be determined by polling the entire community. Lingua Franca’s goal is to provide students, staff, and faculty with a consistent, structured, and inclusive forum for exploring important social topics that impact life at Bates. In collaboration with a group of students who articulated a strong desire to be in conversation with their peers about major social and institutional topics, we’ve developed a new, institution-wide public forum. ![]()
