Diversity Dialogues: Creating Conversations to Impact Personal Reflection, Interpersonal Communication, and Professional Practice

Abstract

Diversity Dialogues, is a peer-led professional development series of workshops that creates conversational communities to drive personal, organizational, and societal change toward greater equity and diversity. We do this by training individuals to personally reflect on their own social identities, to listen to others’ voices, and learn experientially and collectively. Through this approach, we hope our participants, connect their lives to one another and to society at large by acknowledging systems of oppression, power, and privilege. In doing so, we create a diverse, inclusive, accepting, welcoming and safe space for everyone. In this review, best practices, models, and theories toward creating these important spaces are shared.
