Intergroup Dialogue

Catalog description

In this course, you will learn to connect and communicate about and across differences of perspective, experience, and identity, and explore your agency to advance the social good. Through faculty lectures, engaged assignments, and conversations led by trained undergraduate facilitators, you will learn frameworks and practice skills in the areas of human connection, dimensions of difference, intentional communication, and collaborative change. Together, you will build a community of active and critically reflective co-learners; foster connections with self, others, and society; examine how human differences are shaped by sociocultural and historical contexts; and consider their consequences for politics, society, and everyday life. You will also engage in productive dialogue and generative conflict around contemporary issues and co-develop strategies that advance the social good.
