Open Dialogue

“I don’t see any way through but to be brave,” Bhattacharya said in conversation with USC Price Professor Neeraj Sood.

The events featured appearances by Nancy Pelosi, Reince Priebus and other prominent figures across the political spectrum. Funds raised benefit the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future.

Students are attending and engaging in Catholic Mass, Shabbat dinners, religious studies, baptisms and other activities at record levels, driving a “golden age” of religion and spirituality on campus.

Nadine Strossen’s conversation with Dean Franita Tolson of the USC Gould School of Law was part of the USC Open Dialogue Project.

The six-student team is helping with outreach, social media and student-facing programs for the project.

The law professor and legal analyst visited USC’s University Park Campus to discuss his latest book, Rage and the Republic.

USC’s Center for the Political Future offers a hopeful, practical model for ensuring that democracy functions and flourishes through respectful, civil dialogue and trust — regardless of political party affiliation.

The faculty panel discussion focused on next steps USC can take to address issues raised by the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.

The project will offer a range of programs and events, creating meaningful opportunities for Trojans to listen, engage and grow — even when we disagree.
