Community Conversations is an academic program that is one of the Living Learning Initiatives of University Housing in partnership with the Clark Honors College, the Humanities Center, and Undergraduate Studies. The goal of Community Conversations is to stimulate intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, contrarian debate, and articulate discourse among the 3,300+ residential students at the University of Oregon. The program fosters out-of-class interaction between faculty and students in informal settings within University residence halls. Panels of invited university faculty, community leaders, and fellow students examine timely and interesting topics that have been identified by two residential student groups, the Hamilton Think Tank (HTT) and the Walton Advisory Board (WAB). Some of the topics considered in previous terms were:
