Course: Facilitating Dialogue and Action with Diverse Groups
Course Number: UE5630
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Facilitating Dialogue and Action with Diverse Groups is co-taught by Novella Keith, Temple University Associate Professor of Urban Education, and Charles Rojzman, an internationally-known consultant and creator of Transformational Social Therapy (TST). TST offers an action-oriented model for intergroup relations. The theory and practice of TST bring together social and political psychology, group dynamics, critical theory, and organizational development. This course will take students through the unique TST approach to working with groups with a history of conflict based on such factors as race, gender, class, sexual orientation, religion and national origin. Participants will develop an essential skill for intergroup facilitation: understanding and working with the emotional life of groups. The relevant knowledge includes (a) the social and professional “masks” people wear; (b) engaging fears, hatreds, and prejudices; and (c) psychoanalytical dynamics, including projection and transference.
