In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, the skills to have difficult and courageous conversations with friends, family, coworkers, and colleagues are core competencies for leadership, teamwork, and civic engagement. In this class, we will explore how difference and power manifest in their workplaces, activism, and projects and the skills needed to work effectively and collaboratively across race and other intersectional differences. Students will increase their social and emotional intelligence, resilience, and risk assessment skills and practice calling others into partnership and collaboration. This course offers a framework for the courageous conversations we need to skillfully make our workplaces, social networks, families, and social movements places where everybody feels like they belong. This in-person and experiential learning-based class meets on a shortened schedule from September 2 to November 8, 2025. The weekly classes meet on Tuesdays from 4-5:50 p.m. and two Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on September 13 and November 8, 2025.
