EDHI 338 Teaching and Learning about Cultural Diversity through Intergroup
(1).
Dialogue Repeatable to 06 credits if content differs. Formerly EDPL
338. Engages students, from one or more cultural identity groups, in
facilitated dialogue about the similarities and differences of experience
that exist within a group and/or between and across groups. The goal of
intergroup dialogue is for students to develop comfort with, and skill
for, discourse on difficult topics toward the end of fostering positive,
meaningful, and sustained cross-group relationships. Whereas in debate,
students learn to listen to gain advantage, in intergroup dialogue,
students learn to listen to gain understanding. In so doing, students
develop increased multicultural interaction facility, heightened
intergroup awareness and sensitivity, and greater commitment to civic
engagement.
