Feast of Reason: Cultivating Civic Discourse

May 7 at 7:00 PM EST

Thomas Jefferson understood that conversations about society, politics, and community shape civic life in the United States. Inspired by Jefferson’s legendary dinner parties—where great minds gathered to exchange ideas over food and drink—this online program invites educators to explore how the founding generation engaged in civic dialogue over meals.

During this session, educators from the Bob and Marion Wilson Teacher Institute and Monticello will highlight resources designed to cultivate meaningful discussions about civics in classrooms, communities, and even around the dinner table—just as Jefferson did with his guests. Participants will receive 1.0 professional development hour for attending this session. For more information, please contact [email protected].
