Our work in dialogue is grounded by commitments to:
- Attend to how power shows up in discursive spaces and to design dialogue experiences with
power and positionality in mind. - Attend to how all voices, particularly those from under-appreciated or marginalized
backgrounds, can be equitably heard, recognized and respected. - Advance critical learning about diversity, equity and inclusion issues through dialogue
practices. - Work to deepen relationships across social, cultural and power differences through dialogue
experiences. - Approach dialogue as a pedagogical practice that centers students’ and staff members’
personal and collective agency. - Approach dialogue as a pathway for collaboratively addressing organizational policies,
processes, and practices, in order to advance intersectional equity. - Continue learning and evolving as a program through critical research, learning, reflection and assessment of our practices.
