Thomas Guidelines
for Discussion/Conversation This class will challenge us in many and varying ways. Our aim is to create and maintain an atmosphere conducive to honest and thorough exploration, dialogue, analysis and critique. The following guidelines are offered to foster such an environment for our discussions. 1. We will listen to one another – patiently, carefully – assuming each one of us is always doing the best she or he can. We will speak thoughtfully. We will treat one another with respect. 2. We will address our colleagues by name. 3. We will speak in the first person. 4. We will own our assumptions, our conclusions and their implications. We will be open to another’s intellectual growth and change. 5. We cannot be blamed for misinformation, which we have been taught and which we have absorbed from our society and culture, but we will be held accountable for repeating such misinformation after we have learned otherwise. 6. We each have an obligation to actively combat stereotypes so we can eradicate the biases, which prevent us from envisioning the well being of us all. (Adapted from a section developed by M. Shawn Copeland, Marquette University; Katie Cannon, Temple University; Lynn Cannon, Memphis State University).
