Dialogue on Education at Carleton (Dialogue)

Should our professors be invested in our development as human beings? What does it mean to develop as a human being? As it's meant here, development is something akin to the process of forming habits, beliefs, values, and characteristics that in themselves are conducive to well-being and equanimity. Because such development seems of a fundamentally different nature than the acquisition of knowledge and skill sets, whether this specific kind of education should be a part of our learning here in a classroom setting is not by any means clear. Because this is an issue that concerns what we are doing here as a liberal arts college, it seems important for us to reach (greater) consensus on. The goal of Dialogue is to bring about greater clarity on this issue of precisely the kind of edifying effect the things we do in our (humanistically-oriented) classes are meant to have on us by facilitating open and fair-minded in regards to this question. As of Spring 2011, Dialogue will be hosting weekly discussions and campus events (so far talks, panel discussions, and dinners), releasing a publication of relevant essays by students, and performing a (somewhat) informal survey of professors and students in regards to our main line of inquiry, among other things (including a small proposal for an optional supplement applying to all the school's curricula).

Similar publications in terms of content and design include The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. We plan to distribute two issues during the school year. Typical articles are three to four pages in length double-spaced and emphasize analysis and/or research. We look to investigate national issues as well as explore problems and insights that are specific to the Carleton community. Articles in The Lens attempt to burst the “Carleton bubble,” connecting our campus to the outside world.' The Lens fills a specific need on campus and does not intended to compete with The Carletonian or other campus publications. To our knowledge, there does not exist another nationally distributed undergraduate magazine of politics and culture. Our bi-yearly publication also allows for a long, focused editorial process, giving writers, editors and designers the opportunity to plunge in-depth into long form journalism. This kind of editing and writing is unique for Carleton publications and we believe that Carleton students want to read and produce it.

Meetings: Each team (design, content, and business) meets on a different schedule throughout the term.
