Essential Conversations Facilitation Workshop
As we promote racial literacy across the university, faculty are increasingly called to engage in planned and spontaneous conversations relating to Northeastern community members’ diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences. The ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development and Social Impact Lab have created Essential Conversations workshops to provide faculty with the information and expertise to navigate such conversations. Essential Conversations workshops introduce facilitation techniques designed to optimize the benefits and minimize the unintended harms from potentially polarizing conversations about race, identity, power, and privilege.
Facilitators:
Diedra M. Wrighting, Executive Director of ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development
Rebecca Riccio, Khaled and Olfat Juffali Director of the Social Impact Lab; Lecturer of Human Services
