Common Ground will be a speaking intensive, history and government class where students learn about the history of free speech in America and on campus through practicums. While engaging with the history, students will learn to disagree, agreeably through different exercises focusing on the U.S. Constitution in a "Reacting to the Past" role-playing game, a LLM for the Founding Fathers, and free speech on campus issues, especially the 2005 Ward Churchill incident that roiled the Hamilton campus.
