There is still time to register for the Frontiers of Democracy conference<\/a>, which will be held on June 24, 2022, from 9:00-4:30 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The in-person version will take place at Tufts Medical School in Boston\u2019s Chinatown. There is also a parallel Zoom version, which will start at 9:30 and end at 4:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the registration link: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2p976shr<\/a>. Note that there are several prices and options. If you wish to attend, please register soon so that we can plan the details and you can receive updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s conference has a special format. The main activity will be to deliberate in small groups about the issues raised in selected \u201ccivic cases.\u201d People will participate either<\/em> in face-to-face or<\/em> Zoom deliberations, not in hybrid discussions, but there will be a few concise plenary presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civic cases describe difficult choices faced by real groups of activists, social-movement participants, or colleagues in nonprofit organizations. By discussing what we<\/em> would do in similar situations, we can develop civic skills, explore general issues, and form or strengthen relationships with other activists and thinkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the cases for Frontiers 2022 have been developed by the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Justice in Schools, or the Pluralism Project at Harvard, all co-sponsors of Frontiers this summer. Unlike most cases about business, public policy, or ethics, these stories involve groups of voluntary participants who must make decisions together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be able to indicate your preference for which cases to discuss. This is the working list, still subject to additions and changes: https:\/\/sites.tufts.edu\/civicstudies\/case-studies\/.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the pandemic, Frontiers of Democracy drew 140 people annually, and some people attended primarily to connect to a professional network. So far, about 45-50 people are registered for the 2022 conference, and about half of those will be remote. People should be aware that the conference will be smaller than usual, although I still anticipate some additional registrants. The “civic cases” format will work well for an intimate conference, but the network will be smaller than usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
