Colleges and Universities as Public Forums: A Playbook for Designing Impactful Campus Speaker Events

This playbook by the Constructive Dialogue Institute provides in-depth guidance on how campus leaders can fulfill their duties as stewards of curiosity and intellectual exploration by supporting campus speaker events. Campus speakers, whether conventional or controversial, can play an important role in driving intellectual inquiry and exposing students to new ideas. The playbook emphasizes that campus leaders can maximize productive inquiry by framing speaker events as learning opportunities and by mitigating risks to community well-being. Each of these two core actions is described in greater detail and illustrated with real-world case studies from universities across the country.
