| Syracuse University Intergroup Dialogue |
DIALOGUE By dialogue, we mean a specific form of communication especially designed for people to communicate across social, cultural, and power differences. The goal in dialogue is to work towards understanding, not necessarily to reach agreement. PURPOSE We seek to increase understanding of social identities in the context of systems of power and inequalities; to explore the impact at personal, interpersonal, community, cultural, institutional, and societal levels; and to practice dialogue skills toward identifying actions to address social justice issues. ACTION Our offerings reflect Syracuse University’s emphasis on scholarship in action. The work crosses disciplinary, university, and community lines; and we are committed to connecting theory, research, and practice towards individual, educational, and social change.

“We have to recognize both the reinforcing value of being comfortably familiar
with others, and the educational benefits of stretching beyond. The answer is not
to pretend that we live in a group-less, conflict-free society, but rather to find a way
for everyone to affirm their own “narratives” and express their resentments, while
acknowledging that others also have stories to tell and vulnerabilities to reveal.”
