Augustana University is excited to announce the second annual Critical Inquiry & Citizenship Colloquium with Dr. Danielle Allen as the featured speaker. Allen, the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University and director of the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, will give a keynote presentation to the Augustana community, alumni and friends at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, Nov. 13, in the Elmen Center to kick off the 2-day colloquium. A book signing will follow the event.

Generously supported by Rosemarie and Dean Buntrock and in partnership with Augustana’s Center for Western Studies (CWS), the Critical Inquiry & Citizenship Colloquium was established in 2023. The colloquium is designed to promote civil discourse and deep reflection with the goal of enhancing students' skills to think critically and communicate persuasively as citizens of a pluralistic society.
