Thesis (M.S.)--Stephen F. Austin State University, 2013.

Society faces challenges from climate change and other increasingly tough problems, and theorists have proposed dialogue as one mechanism for addressing them. To engage people in these issues and to remain relevant in a changing world, museums, national parks, and other public institutions are beginning to use facilitated dialogue in interpretive, educational, and community programs. Few studies have examined this type of dialogue.

520 $a Society faces challenges from climate change and other increasingly tough problems, and theorists have proposed dialogue as one mechanism for addressing them. To engage people in these issues and to remain relevant in a changing world, museums, national parks, and other public institutions are beginning to use facilitated dialogue in interpretive, educational, and community programs. Few studies have examined this type of dialogue.
520 $a The current study examines the phenomenon of facilitated dialogue programs through three comparative case studies, including the Hot Topics Cafe community dialogue programs organized by Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff; the Tour & Discussion programs at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in New York City; and the HOT (Human Origins Today) Topic program offered by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. These programs span a variety of approaches and topics, ranging from a program focused solely on dialogue, to dialogue mixed with an interpretive tour, to a more traditional talk using some dialogic techniques. To explore and describe the phenomenon of facilitated dialogue programs, I observed seven of these programs. Three organizers, six facilitators, and 31 participants were interviewed multiple times in person, on the telephone, and by email, for a total of 65 contacts with 40 individuals. Men and women were nearly equally represented among participants who volunteered to be interviewed; these interviewees were generally highly educated, White, and 45 years of age or older.
520 $a The experience of dialogue at these three sites included direct and open exchanges of personal experience and opinion from many perspectives. A quarter of participants at the two museum sites indicated that they intentionally chose dialogue programs over other activities; likely all participants at NAU chose the dialogue programs intentionally. Participants at all three sites said they valued and learned from the dialogue programs, which also broadened their perspectives, built community, and allowed them to develop or practice civic skills and attitudes, including articulating their own views and developing respect for other people. Other participants, however, reported being neutral about or dissatisfied with dialogue programs because of the format or the lack of diversity in participants.
520 $a Several weeks after the dialogue programs, 15 of 31 participants responded to a follow-up email questionnaire; these respondents wrote that they remembered aspects of the programs. They reported learning about the topic, continuing to value the programs, and engaging in new behavior related to their experience, including attending another dialogue program and having more discussions with others. Other respondents reported no major effects from their participation.
520 $a In this study, best practices for organizers, facilitators, and participants of dialogue programs at the three study sites are reported and modeled. For organizers, these practices include training facilitators, communicating goals, framing relevant topics, and inviting a diverse audience. For facilitators, best practices include creating a respectful environment, guiding the flow of dialogue, inviting diverse views, and self-assessing. For participants, the practices include attending programs, speaking from one's own experience, listening, and treating others with respect.
520 $a Suggestions for future research are offered in this study. Based on a proposed model of six key methods for dialogue programs at the study sites, recommendations are made for current and future dialogue program practitioners.
