[Air-L] "Civil discourse, meet the internet; Internet, meet civil discourse"

[Deborah Elizabeth Finn]

Dear AIR Colleagues,

One of the organizations I work with is the Public Conversations
Project, a nonprofit dedicated to constructively addressing conflicts
relating to values and world views.  (This might sound overly
abstract, but it's amazing.  They're the folks who brought pro-life
and pro-choice activists together into extended dialogue and turned
them into friends. See <http://ow.ly/1T9DJ>.)

They recently asked me to write them an article, and I thought you
might be interested:

"Civil discourse, meet the internet; Internet, meet civil discourse"

What are your thoughts?

Best regards from Deborah
