What is a Dialogue?

The Science of Community Dialogue series is a series of conversations between researchers, experts, community organizers, and other people who are interested in how communities work, collaborate, and succeed. You can read more on our wikihttps://wiki.communitydata.science/Dialogues or watch this short introduction videohttps://northwestern.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=1bb1547a-7034-41dd-b433-ae5a0105cca0&start=0 with Aaron Shaw.
