About me

Introduction	Since July 2007, we’ve grown to nearly 450 members, mostly civic leaders from the democracy-building field, faculty from all core disciplines and from interdisciplinary programs, center directors, and campus leaders from offices of diversity, civic engagement, first-year experience, leadership, and student affairs. We are a network. Our members share an interest in education for a more deliberative democracy and work together to share ideas; steward and distribute knowledge; develop, validate, and disseminate practices; and encourage innovation. Members contribute resources. Members facilitate smaller communities of practice and help with TDI projects. Members host regional gatherings and get together at TDI-sponsored sessions at national conferences. Members play an active role in reaching out to others to be part of this national movement. We are a resource to individuals and institutions. In addition to the resources on this web site, we sponsor workshops, sessions at national conferences, projects, and Webinars. We provide tailored institutional support to interested colleges and universities.
