Diversity and Inclusion: Handling Challenges
in Learning, Teaching and Working
Student, faculty and staff communities in law schools are becoming increasingly diverse. The richness provided by this diversity offers a wealth of opportunities to learn from the experience and perspectives of others. Diversity also presents some challenges and conflicts. There may be conflicting values, views, principles and expectations. Misunderstanding or misinterpretation may result from different modes of communication, perceptions, and learning styles. We can no longer guess the motivation or perspective of others as perhaps we thought we once could. Teaching and working in a diverse environment requires more thought and consideration. Assumptions, short cuts and former ways of teaching and working often do not work. This program, through the use of critical incident videos, will analyze and discuss typical work-related challenges and facilitate discussion around developing guidelines for action and resolution.
