Center for Dialogue & Pluralism (formerly Intergroup Dialogue Project) advances intentional engagement across, and about, differences as an essential democratic practice. In a society characterized, in many ways, by division and polarization, the Center for Dialogue & Pluralism (CDP) (formerly the Intergroup Dialogue Project) advances intentional engagement across, and about, differences as an ess

ential democratic practice. Leveraging the diversity of knowledge, perspectives, and experiences at the university, CDP’s educational work focuses on building capacity in four key areas:
1. Human Connection: Strengthen innate capacities to connect with oneself and others in a way that foregrounds human complexity and deepens a sense of mutual responsibility with others in society.
2. Social & Personal Identities: Explore the multiplicity of personal and social identities, their embeddedness in sociocultural and historical structures, and their manifestations in everyday lives.
3. Intentional Communication: Analyze multiple and divergent perspectives; examine how assumptions and ideas develop and their impact on individuals and communities; and create knowledge together.
4. Collaborative Change: Identify social needs through critical inquiry of experiences and research; co-develop proactive strategies that advance the social good; and assess the impact of change efforts on individuals and systems.
