Dialogues on Diversity: An Effective program for Raising Awareness and Respect for Diversity
- James McShay (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This presentation is designed to raise awareness in the academic community about the "Dialogues on Diversity" program. Panelists with knowledge and experience with the program will talk about creating a climate that encourages respect for diversity. They will explore the benefits and challenges of the program, its effect on students' and facilitators ' attitudes, and provide preliminary evidence that suggests positive effects can occur when a safe environment for dialogues is facilitated. Attention will be given to the use of technology to extend conversation outside the classroom setting.
