Our Commitments
Our work in dialogue is grounded by commitments to:
Attend to how power shows up in discursive spaces and to design dialogue experiences with
power and positionality in mind.Attend to how all voices, particularly those from under-appreciated or marginalized
backgrounds, can be equitably heard, recognized and respected.Advance critical learning about diversity, equity and inclusion issues through dialogue
practices.Work to deepen relationships across social, cultural and power differences through dialogue
experiences.Approach dialogue as a pedagogical practice that centers students’ and staff members’
personal and collective agency.Approach dialogue as a pathway for collaboratively addressing organizational policies,
processes, and practices, in order to advance intersectional equity.Continue learning and evolving as a program through critical research, learning, reflection and assessment of our practices.
