Description

In this program, Dar guides participants toward a deeper, more universal understanding of race so individuals and groups can build relationships across racial differences. Participants will learn that opening conversations on racial issues in organizations, committee meetings, or one-on-one discussions is a relational process.  

Many people use outdated concepts and definitions of race, but through intergroup dialogue strategies, participants are able to develop greater awareness, appreciation, and respect for racial differences. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Learn intergroup dialogue strategies to discuss race 
  • Identify examples of racial awareness in personal and professional life
  • Explore the complexities of race and racial issues in American organizations
