Topic: Reframing
The August dialogue will introduce
George Lakoff's approach to reframing political issues and arguments ("don't
think of an elephant" Chelsea Green Pub. 2004). Participants will view and
discuss a short DVD that gives an overview of Lakoff's approach. If time
permits we will also do a short break-out exercise on identifying the values
that support our positions and share our results with the full group. The
discussion and exercise will prepare participants to do the fuller workshop,
"Getting Started in Reframing Issues," at a later time.
Facilitator: Phil
Shepard.
