| | Dissent! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | is a series of events designed to bring together scholars, community groups and arts organizations, and the general public for an exploration of the idea of dissent as personal experience, social action, and artistic inspiration. |
 | | We view dissent as a practice by which the minority challenges the power of the majority, but also as part of the process by which the majority recasts or reaffirms its fundamental beliefs. |
 | | Dissent is enshrined in our system of governance through the filibuster, embodied in the legal system by the dissenting opinion, lived out in our family lives through adolescent rebellion, and enmeshed in every aspect of our culture, sacred and profane, ancient and modern. |
