DESCRIPTION:With Elon Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter\, the Supreme Court’s upcoming rulings on two cases (Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taameh) related to online content\, and continuing concerns about the effects of online interactions on the mental health of teenagers in the news\, questions about the role of social media in our lives have never been more salient. These questions exist at both the micro-level of personal decisions and interactions and the macro-level of society\, politics\, and democracy. Should we be on social media? Should we regulate it? If so\, how and to what extent? Some argue that social media is generally positive for both individuals and society\, while others assert that its harms far outweigh its benefits – at least as it currently operates. To explore these questions\, Davidson College’s Deliberative Citizenship Initiative\, Digital Studies\, Political Science\, and Psychology Departments\, and Jay Hurt Hub for Innovation and Entrepreneurship invite you to join us for a Deliberative Forum on “Social Media: How Should We Engage and/or Regulate it\, If at All?” This Deliberative Forum will enable participants to actively engage with this important issue\, first by hearing from an online panel of experts with diverse perspectives on the topic\, and then by actively deliberating with one another in facilitated small group discussions (either in person or virtually) on how best to engage with and regulate social media (if at all). This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts\, listen to the viewpoints of others\, and share your own ideas about this challenging and complex topic. The event is free but registration is required. We request that all registrants plan to attend both the panel and the small group discussions\, which are designed to complement each other. Participants may join both in-person and online. Spaces are limited due to the number of trained DCI facilitators we have available to moderate the small group discussions. You may be placed on a waitlist if our capacity is reached; we will let you know if spaces open up. We will do our best to accommodate as many people as we can so please don’t hesitate to get on the waitlist. The Zoom link will be sent to online participants after they register.

In honor of earth month\, this month’s topic will be on Circular Economies. What if waste was just a design flaw? The traditional economy runs on a simple but costly loop: take raw materials\, make something\, and dispose of it when we’re done. A circular economy challenges that assumption. What does it look like to keep resources\, products\, and materials in use for as long as possible\, and to design systems where nothing really becomes waste. It’s an idea gaining traction across industries\, from manufacturing and fashion to food systems and urban planning. But what does it actually mean in practice? Where are the real opportunities and the real obstacles? And how does it connect to the work we do every day? We’re not bringing in a dedicated expert to tell us the answers. Instead\, we open these questions to the group to hear how you think about it or what you have experienced. Whether you’re deeply familiar with the concept or hearing it for the first time\, your perspective is what this conversation needs. FAQ What is a Community of Practice? A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common interest\, profession\, or passion and come together to interact\, learn\, and collaborate. What do we mean by Innovation? We like to explore innovation broadly. We’re curious about new ideas\, methods\, or services that bring positive change or improvement. We want to explore creative approaches to problem-solving\, processes\, idea generation\, or technology.  Who is this group for? Innovation is for everyone regardless of industry or professional status. What will we do? These are casual conversations that focus on a different topic month to month.  For questions or to RSVP please email Amy Quilala Gascon amgascon@davidson.edu The Hurt Hub welcomes requests for reasonable accommodations related to disability and will strive to make this program accessible to participants.

Speak Bolder. Show Up Ready. What if the best way to sharpen your thinking wasn’t a workshop or framework\, but a game? Battledecks: An Improv Experience is a high-energy event that teaches you how to think faster\, communicate clearer\, and show up with more confidence. Here’s How the Night Works: The Lesson: Hurt Hub Knowledge Hub speaker and improv comedian\, Amy Quilala\, kicks things off with 4 improv-rooted lessons for anyone who thinks\, communicates\, or works with other humans. Think of it as everything you need to go into Battledecks battle-ready. Full Group Game: Before the battle begins\, the whole room gets in on a low-stakes improv game that warms up your brain\, loosens the room\, and gets everyone into full hype-person mode. Battledecks: This is where we hand the mic over to you. Battledecks is a popular improv format where volunteers are given a random slide deck they’ve never seen before and present it live\, on the spot to a room of people rooting for you. Will we be fact checking? Absolutely not. Could it go sideways? That’s kind of the point. Volunteers put their name in the hat. We’ll draw for order. Fate takes it from there. Come solo\, bring a crew\, or make it your team’s next professional development win. Beer and wine available throughout the event for guests 21+.
