Navigating Different Perspectives with Curiosity and Openness

20 m

This course focuses on how graduate students define and engage with a variety of perspectives, using the iceberg model to illustrate how some aspects of human differences are not readily observable. This course examines how resistance to different perspectives, reactions to difference, assumptions, and the ladder of inference can interfere with student engagement, while providing practical strategies, such as intentional exposure to difference and the virtuous circle, to support students as they learn to engage comfortably with different perspectives.
