"SOURCE Intergroup Dialogue on Skin Tone"<br>
Participants will reflect on how "skin tone" impacts their college experiences as well as the dynamics "skin tone" brings to the Cultural Center. This dialogue explores similarities, differences and conflicts related to the multicultural student community. This is also an opportunity for personal exploration.<br>
<br>
“Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated face-to-face interaction between students from difference background, with the goal of raising awareness about their differences as well as commonalities. It creates room for students to engage in honest and productive dialogues about issues of social inequalities and explore ways in which they can work together towards justice and equity.” Zúñiga, X. & Nagda, B. A., Chesler, M, & Cytron-Walker, A. (2007). Intergroup dialogue in high education: Meaningful learning about social justice. ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report Volume 32, Number 4.
