Intergroup dialogue has emerged as an effective educational and
community building method to bring together members of diverse
social and cultural groups to engage in learning together so that
they may work collectively and individually to promote greater
diversity, equality and justice. Intergroup dialogues bring
together individuals from different identity groups (such as people
of color and white people; women and men; lesbian, gay, and
bisexual people and heterosexual people), and uses explicit
pedagogy that involves three important features: content learning,
structured interaction, and facilitative guidance. The least
understood role in the pedagogy is that of facilitation. This
volume, the first dedicated entirely to intergroup dialogue
facilitation, draws on the experiences of contributors and on
emerging research to address the multi-dimensional role of
facilitators and co-facilitators, the training and support of
facilitators, and ways of improving practice in both educational
and community settings. It constitutes a comprehensive guide for
practitioners, covering the theoretical, conceptual, and practical
knowledge they need. Presenting the work and insights of scholars,
practitioners and scholar-practitioners who train facilitators for
intergroup dialogues, this book bridges the theoretical and
conceptual foundations of intergroup relations and social justice
education with training models for intergroup dialogue
facilitation. It is intended for staff, faculty, and administrators
in higher education, and community agencies, as well as for human
resources departments in workplaces. Contributors: Charles Behling,
