Engaging in Dialogues encourages self-reflection, promotes empathy and perspective-taking, raises awareness of contemporary social issues, and creates space for marginalized and alternative narratives to be heard. (these also connect with the mission of my office)
For Inclusive Community Conversations, participants are asked to engage in advance with a form of media (e.g., short reading, video, etc.) as a prompt to begin the dialogue. During the dialogue participants will engage in a World Cafe style dialogue about the topic. After the event, in collaboration with Belk Library, participant will be exposed to additional resources to further their reflection and understanding about the topic.
