Sociology 362 - Facilitating for Racial Change

What factors hinder meaningful dialogues on race with the U.S. context? What facilitation skills promote interracial communication and collaboration across axes of difference? How might these co-created dialogic spaces help promote social transformation and change? This course is designed to prepare students to facilitate dialogues on race and other social-justice related topics by bridging sociological theory on race and racial identity development with engaged praxis using Intergroup Dialogue (IGD) pedagogical techniques.
