Teams of three or more faculty working on three or more courses can apply for a maximum of $15,000 per proposal. The grants are open to IUPUI and IUPU Columbus full-time faculty.

Enhancing Teaching and Learning with Intergroup Dialogue
Wednesday, December 3, 2014 | UL 1116 | 2 - 3:30 p.m.
Register » | Organizer: Lauren Easterling | Presenters: Daniel Griffith, Alice Jones, Lauren Easterling, Margo Foreman, Marianne Wokeck
Intergroup dialogues are facilitated, face-to-face interactions between individuals from two or more social identity groups. They focus on issues related to social justice, social group membership, identity, and the positionality (privilege and oppression) of the groups represented. Based on research, intergroup dialogue processes greatly enhance both cognitive and experiential learning around topics involving diversity, cultural competence and social justice when compared to traditional content courses on the same subjects absent IGD teaching components. IUPUI has embarked on a campus-wide initiative to incorporate intergroup dialogue principles, pedagogy and practices into undergraduate, graduate and professional level courses and curriculum, as well as co-curricular learning and faculty and staff professional development.
