Whether we think of issues of governance, religion, race, the environment, economic development, education, or healthcare—the inability to communicate, cooperate or compromise weakens our ability to address common challenges.

“Designing for the Divide,” a conference on community action across lines of difference, will be held at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center, March 23-24.

To register for the conference, see the website at http://designingforthedivide.org.

“This will be a meeting that includes designers from across the United States, regular citizens from the local communities and the region, and various disciplines at WVU, to brainstorm ways to bring polarized groups together to accomplish goals in a climate of impasse,” said Graphic Design Professor Eve Faulkes, one of the co-chairs of the event.

Peter Butler, assistant professor of landscape architecture and environmental design in the Davis College, will be among the speakers at the conference. For the full story, click here.
