Leading Discussions
Our discussions follow the Great Books Shared Inquiry Method. Participants help one another search for answers to fundamental questions raised by a text. Participants come to the discussion with their own unique way of viewing the selection; they then try to build on their own views through a sharing of ideas.
For a rundown of how Shared Inquiry discussions work, please see our Shared Inquiry page.
