We Really Need to Talk: Encouraging and Empowering Interracial Dialogue

Interracial dialogue can foster an exchange of ideas leading to productive and sustainable solutions. However, dialogue is often avoided because people anticipate negative affective and interpersonal consequences. In this talk I describe research exploring strategies to encourage and empower those who might ordinarily avoid interracial dialogue.

The colloquium will be held on zoom. Please contact slagell.2@osu.edu for the zoom link.
