Still openings in Dialogue Across Difference (COMM360)
Tuesday and Thursday 12:30-1:45
Due to the ever-increasing polarization in society, it is imperative that individuals learn the skills and gain practice in having open and engaging interactions across difference. The aim of this course is to provide students with practice in communicating across difference as well as understanding the factors that facilitate constructive and positive outcomes of dialogue through reflection and application of theory and research. During the course of the semester, students will:
Engage in a semester-long small group discussions about important social topics and issues to gain practice in communicating about and across difference
Learn about barriers and challenges to that are at the heart of our current polarization along with strategies and processes that enable more constructive engagement with others
Learn about dialogue programs and initiatives in educational contexts, communities, and regions with ethnopolitical conflict to understand the applied nature of course concepts and ideas.
Develop their own program or initiative to address a social issue on campus or the community that is of interest to the student. Students have chosen to enact this proposal in subsequent semester for personal /or academic goals (e.g., thesis, independent research, professional experience)
Satisfies ACE 2 Student Learning Outcome
