Course Description
1 section of ALA 220, Foundations in Intergroup Relations
This 3 credit introductory course will examine the history of various social identity groups in the United States including identities based on race/ethnicity, gender, religion, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, and ability status. This course will also examine the theory behind how social identity groups form, and how bias develops (prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination). The course will also explore how people develop an understanding of their own social identity group membership, how groups are impacted by privilege and power dynamics, and how to develop advocacy for groups. Students can expect to participate in class through individual and group projects as well as class discussion. This class fulfills the RE requirement for LSA. The instructor is the instructor of record with their own course section.
2 sections of ALA 320: Training Processes in Intergroup Dialogue Facilitation
This 3 credit course is designed to give students a foundation for the effective facilitation of structured social identity based and topical intergroup dialogues as a method of social justice education. The Lec 1 will co-teach this class with another member of the IGR instructor team, and will be jointly responsible for all aspects of the course.
It is intended for students who wish to facilitate intergroup dialogues in a future semester. The topics of this course include group facilitation skills and their applications in creating inclusive settings; group processes and dynamics involving social power, social identity, group development, prejudice and stereotyping, and their effects on groups; difference and dominance and the nature of social oppression. The class will include: exercises, simulations and role-plays; practice facilitation; reading discussions; and reflection on interactions and assignments during class sessions. The goal of this class is to help students develop competencies and skills to facilitate intergroup dialogues across different identities and to become peer educators with the Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR). Students who take this class will be expected to sign up to facilitate an intergroup dialogue in ALA 321 in a subsequent semester.
All class members are REQUIRED to attend the retreat. This class is designed to be engaging and requires a great deal of interpersonal sharing, sometimes about uncomfortable topics. It is key for participants to be able to be present with one another, listen honestly and speak freely.
