What Difference does Diff Make

What Difference does Difference Make?
The ability to communicate across (cultural and other) differences is essential to our everyday interactions with people, stories, events, or issues. How do we arrive at our conclusions? How do our conclusions affect our interactions? When we engage in ‘Intercultural Communicative Practice’, we employ critical self-reflective analysis to our understanding of ‘culture,’ ‘truth’, ‘reality’ and ‘identity’ and to our own role in all meaning-making processes. In this course, we’ll practice how to achieve more than just an egocentric view of the matter at hand, so that thinking differently allows us to speak and act differently going forward. 3 hrs. sem.
