In 2014, Intergroup Dialogue was first introduced at Colgate, and since then, has been dynamically engaged by faculty, staff, and students at curricular and co-curricular levels.

Intergroup Dialogue (IGD), founded in the early 1990s at the University of Michigan, is “a face-to-face sustained and facilitated dialogic methodology that asks participants to listen deeply across difference, to bravely share their own stories and to commit to taking action to create a world where all can fully realize their humanity.”

This teaching table will open a conversation about IGD pedagogy in curricular courses, drawing on the facilitators’ experiences of incorporating IGD to build dialogue in their classrooms, as well as the unique experience they created through a co-taught course with extended study abroad. Facilitators April Baptiste and Carolyn Hsu will share some advice about how to weave IGD into a syllabus and to implement activities to foster an environment for dialogue through systemic awareness. We look forward to having you join us for this session.

To reserve your place at the table, we kindly ask you to register for the event.
