New Exhibition: A Conversation with George Washington
This first collection of portraits from the "Americans who tell the truth" collection by artist Robert Shetterly are being displayed in the foyer outside the Maxwell Auditorium, in Maxwell Hall, to elicit a conversation about citizenship.
These portraits of Americans, past and present, represent various ways of being active and engaged participants in our society. Their efforts illustrate the longstanding struggle to realize America’s democratic ideals, to advance the common good, and to reckon with the concepts of citizenship, democracy, and justice at different moments in history.
Through this exhibition, we aim to make a statement about the need for constructive reflection over the inclusion of all Americans and offer opportunities for conversation and learning that can deepen our sense of civic engagement.
New Exhibition: Voices of Maxwell
“Voices of Maxwell” features a rotating display of quotes by Maxwell community members who have made significant contributions to the school throughout its history in the entryway to Eggers Hall from the Lincoln courtyard.
The first series of displays honor the contributions of retired women faculty and staff such as Marguerite Fisher, the first woman to be promoted to associate and then to full professor in Maxwell.

A Conversation with Washington: Civic Skills for Civic Life
Eggers Hall, 240 (Undergraduate Academic Village)
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
This workshop is part of the “Conversations with Washington: Having Difficult Conversations” series that extends the Maxwell School’s commitment to encouraging our community to engage respectfully with one another across differences. Like the initiative of Robert Shetterly’s portraits in the Maxwell Hall foyer, these workshops are designed for all faculty, staff and students, and aim to equip participants with practical tools for navigating conversations across diverse perspectives. The sessions are not topic-specific but focus on developing essential skills for effective dialogue.
The “Civic Skills for Civic Life” workshop is a short, engaging and interactive session aimed at helping participants develop key skills for managing conflict in both civic and personal contexts. Through exercises and discussions, participants will learn how perceptions and values influence conflicts and explore methods such as advocacy, inquiry, and identifying positions and interests. Additionally, the workshop introduces participants to the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC), offering resources to deepen their conflict and collaboration expertise.
