Affirming Diversity Through Democratic Conversations

Autor Andrew Stremmel, Andrew Stremmell Editat de Victoria Fu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 1998
Intended for students and practitioners in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on diversity, this collection of essays and personal reflections is written from a social constructivist perspective that those in schools of education, counseling, children and family studies, and social work will find particularly relevant. The authors propose practices that promote democratic conversations regarding diversity by creating opportunities to share personal stories and to listen to other people's stories. They examine policies and practices that can either empower or stifle understanding in different situations. Finally, they present stories to serve as catalysts to promote democratic conversations and multicultural understanding in various contexts.

  • Explores the meaning of living in a multicultural society through individual stories instead of using “people-created” theories that are often too restrictive to allow for the complexity of real life. Pg.___

  • Addresses important questions such as “How can we build bridges and connections without being able to talk across differences?” and “How can we affirm diversity when selected views are allowed to be voiced, while others are silenced?” Pg.___
