The next issue of Constructing intercultural Dialogues is now available, “A Dialogue about Caste: Managing Uncomfortable Conversations” by Pratha Shetty.
Her focus is on how to manage the sorts of difficult conversations that frequently occur when members of different cultural groups interact, even when everyone has the best of intentions. As a reminder, the goal of this series is to provide concrete examples of how actual people have managed to organize and hold intercultural dialogues, so that others may be inspired to do the same. As with other CID series, these may be downloaded for free. Click on the thumbnail to download the PDF.
