Penn National Commission on Society, Culture and Community

Welcome to the Penn National Commission on Society, Culture and Community. The Penn National Commission seeks to foster the "reasoned and reasonable" discourse essential to the social, political, cultural, and community life of a democracy. An international group of forty-eight scholars, political leaders, and shapers of public opinion, convened by University of Pennsylvania President Judith Rodin, the Commission is meeting over a three-year period to understand the problems of contemporary public discussion and behavior and foster a more engaged and thoughtful public discourse in the 21st century. <br> But if you are reading this page, then your web browser is probably not "frames-enabled." <a href="nofrindex.html">Take this link</a>to a version of the document that does not require a frame-enabled browser.
