Good questions from our recent campus visits
Q: How would you describe the commons, which can at first appear abstract?
This is one of many great questions I was asked on a recent mini-West Coast tour that took me to Portland State University and Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. It’s why On the Commons is hitting campuses across the country—to explain that the commons is not some abstruse intellectual construct but a useful set of ideas and practices that point us in the direction of new solutions for issues in our communities and lives.
