The Texas State Department of Philosophy is hosting a Deliberative Dialogue on Equitable Housing today starting at 4:30 p.m. at the San Marcos Public Library as part of the Philosophy Dialogues Series.
Deliberative dialogue offers communities a fresh approach to civil discourse. While other communication formats are often used to inform citizens, such as debate or focused discussion, a deliberative dialogue is not competitive, nor is it a discussion solely focused on acquiring knowledge. Its intent is to help people reflect on reliable information about an issue, share their personal opinions and to encourage participatory democracy.
The Equitable Housing Panel will feature community leaders from the Workforce Housing Task Force and will center around information from the draft San Marcos Housing Needs Assessment, which was completed in March as part of the Workforce Housing Initiative and Taskforce.
