Dear AIR Colleagues, One of the organizations I work with is the Public Conversations Project, a nonprofit dedicated to constructively addressing conflicts relating to values and world views. (This might sound overly abstract, but it's amazing. They're the folks who brought pro-life and pro-choice activists together into extended dialogue and turned them into friends. See <http://ow.ly/1T9DJ>.) They recently asked me to write them an article, and I thought you might be interested: "Civil discourse, meet the internet; Internet, meet civil discourse" <http://ow.ly/1T7oV> What are your thoughts? Best regards from Deborah Deborah Elizabeth Finn Strategist and Consultant Technology for the Nonprofit and Philanthropic Sector Boston, Massachusetts, USA Email: deborah_elizabeth_finn@post.harvard.edu Blog: www.deborahelizabethfinn.com Skype: Deborah909 Twitter: Deborah909 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah909 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Deborah.Elizabeth.Finn I bring resources and needs together for nonprofits and philanthropies, mostly through strategic use of information and communication technologies.
