CDP has been successfully teaching and practice respectful disagreement and dialogue within intellectually diverse communities within and beyond Duke who support and challenge each other inside and outside of the classroom.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black;\">Sanford Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/sanford.duke.edu\/profile\/abdullah-t-antepli\/\">Abdullah Antepli<\/a> will serve as CDP\u2019s new Director. Since it began in 2018, CDP has organized over twenty-five on campus events, sponsored twelve for-credit courses, and hosted eight summer seminars, including <a href=\"https:\/\/today.duke.edu\/2024\/06\/hard-conversations-campus\">seminars for faculty<\/a> on teaching civil discourse. Over eighty professors from universities around the country have participated in these seminars. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transformativeideas.duke.edu\/dr-john-rose-phd\">Dr. John Rose<\/a>, CDP\u2019s former Associate Director, has reason to be confident about CDP\u2019s future. \u201cGiven Sanford\u2019s own mission, it\u2019s an ideal home for CDP. And I can\u2019t think of anyone better than Prof. Antepli to lead the project going forward.\u201d Rose noted that the need for the project has only increased in recent years. \u201cAmerica is polarizing at a rapid pace. Citizens of different views are no longer engaging in real conversation with each other. Universities need to model for our society how to facilitate these intellectual encounters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black;\">Interim Dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy <a href=\"https:\/\/sanford.duke.edu\/profile\/manoj-mohanan\/\">Manoj Mohanan<\/a> agrees with Rose, \u201cI\u2019m delighted about the future of the Civil Discourse Project at POLIS. At a time when polarization across political lines is one of the most daunting challenges facing our nation, the CDP provides a unique opportunity for Sanford and Duke. We aim to create a much-needed space for well-informed conversations where we might differ in our political views but continue to work together towards a common objective of solving complex policy challenges.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black;\">\u201cI am extremely proud and excited to bring CDP to Polis as one of my first initiatives as director\u201d says Polis\u2019s new Director Professor Abdullah Antepli. \u201cWe have identified crossing the political and ideological divide and setting up exemplary models of engagement over significant differences and disagreements as a top priority for Polis moving forward. CDP\u2019s rich history and impressive achievements are a perfect and timely match for our vision. We are looking forward to building upon what Dr. Rose and his team have built and to carry CDP to new heights as a helpful educational platform open to all members of the Duke community and beyond.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: black;\">Polis invites and welcomes all Duke students, faculty, staff, and Alumni who are interested in democracy and civil discourse to <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/g2pgxj\">sign up our newsletter<\/a> or email Polis at <a href=\"mailto:polis@duke.edu\">polis@duke.edu<\/a> with any feedback or suggestions.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally hosted by the Kenan Institute of Ethics, The Civil Discourse Project (CDP) will now be housed with Polis: Center for Politics.
