Developing Cultural Identity: Exploring Our Core Values & Beliefs
Description
In this session participants will utilize a model developed by Dr. Kate Kirkham from Brigham Young University to help them understand the dynamics of diversity in their lives at the individual, group, and institutional levels. They will participate in interactive exercises that reveal the nature of the socialization process; examine models that reveal how we learn about our own culture and the cultures of others; experience how our values, beliefs, and self-concepts affect the way we think, behave, and make assumptions about people who are different; and learn how the absence of information—the silent teacher—can contribute to assumptions, even bigotry, about the status and entitlements of people who are different.
