Communication Across Differences

Taught by Bernice Moore and Maureen Balaam
This class will be focused on developing skills for communication and practice of various methods of communication in dyads, triads and whole groups. We will explore basic skills, as well as, dialog conversations and collaborative inquiry.

The purpose of the class is to give students the tools to experience the value of successful and meaningful communication with other people, especially those who are different from ourselves; to increase comfort in communicating about things important to them; to be with differences without reaction and with appropriate concern and empathy.
