- Social Justice Dialogue: Theory and Praxis

Catalog description

An integration of social theory and praxis in a seminar that prepares students to facilitate intergroup and intragroup social justice dialogues exploring race and intersecting identities. How can we learn to engage more effectively about race, power, and privilege? What factors hinder meaningful engagement? What skills promote both interracial and intra-racial communication on important social issues? Through readings on social identity theory, reflective and analytic writing, and experiential practice of dialogic communication skills, students learn to facilitate dialogues on provocative topics such as cancel culture, immigration, and interracial relationships.
