Discourse rests at the nexus of academic inquiry, freedom of expression, and democratic participation.. The rigorous testing and refining of ideas necessary for pursuing knowledge and advancing democracy depend on the ability to seek out and engage multiple perspectives, differences, and disagreements. Drawing on the principles of freedom of expression and discourse theory, this introduction utilizes models and practices that foster the vigorous, inclusive, and productive discourse. Discussion of readings on free expression and democratic discourse will ground and provide practice in communicating about, with, and across difference and disagreement.
