Office of Intercultural Literacy, Capacity and Engagement - Critical Conversations + Intergroup Dialogue
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The Office of Intercultural Literacy, Capacity and Engagement (ILCE) provides resources for faculty, staff, and community partners to support excellence in scholarship, teaching and engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The ILCE offers a few peer-to-peer programs on these topics:
(1) Critical Conversations
- A space for informal, unfussy, intellectual, peer-to-peer dialogue
- Helps faculty, staff, and students recognize and address implicit bias to enhance diversity and inclusion on campus.
- Explore how implicit bias impacts institutions of higher education in regards to recruitment, work, student outcomes, and relationships.
- Help inform perceptions about implicit bias and future actions to support a welcoming, inclusive community at IUPUI.
The ILCE Office sponsors monthly Critical Conversations where participants can engage in a timely issue over the lunch hour. These Critical Conversations provide informal collegial space to dialogue about issues of social justice, equity, and inclusion and are open to IUPUI faculty, staff, students, and the Indianapolis community. Est 25 participants/monthly 1 hr session
More information: https://diversity.iupui.edu/offices/ilce/critical-conversation.html
(2) Intergroup Dialogue
Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated peer-to-peer conversation platform between individuals from two or more social identity groups that have a history of conflict or potential conflict. It is a sustained communication process involving a series of meetings and emphasizing issues related to social justice, social group membership, identity, and the positionality (privilege and oppression) of groups. A dialogue typically involves 15-20 participants whose social identity provides general parity between the two groups represented (e.g., women & men; people of color & white people; LGBT persons & heterosexuals, etc.).
More information: Est 20 participants per series, 4 series/yr at 10 hrs/participant
https://igd.iupui.edu/images/Overview%20of%20IUPUI%20Intergroup%20Dialogue%20Initiative%20-%20Jan.%2015.pdf
In 2018, Intergroup Dialogue launched the first undergraduate certificate in intergroup dialogue at a college or university in Indiana. The certificate enables students to receive academic credit for learning transferable skills in intercultural communication, conflict resolution, civil discourse and leadership, and it serves IUPUI's strategic plan goal to promote an inclusive campus culture. Upon completion of the certificate program, students will be able to demonstrate leadership capabilities to support others through intergroup conflicts and to help them better function as teams, corporate citizens and community members.

3) Creating Racially Inclusive Classrooms
The White Racial Literacy Project presents this yearlong, monthly interactive faculty webinar, featuring Dr. Kathy Obear of the Center for Transformation and Change. Faculty enrolled in this workshop will take part in an experience that will change the way they see the classroom, understand how whiteness shows up in the classroom and curriculum, and learn skills to ensure all students are included in and have the opportunity to learn from the courses they teach. The yearlong workshop includes reviewing 30-minute informational recordings Dr. Obear makes specifically for IUPUI prior to virtual in- person sessions with Dr. Obear to unpack the information shared in the recordings, group work and discussions. In addition, faculty will take “deep dives” into subjects on alternating months in preparation for the next 30-minute recorded and virtual in-person sessions with Dr. Obear. Sessions meet monthly: September 11, October 9, November 13, December 11, February 12, March 12, April 9, May 14.
Est 50 participants for 3 hr/8 sessions

UL Events & Programs:
Seed Library
On June 17, University Library unveiled its seed library which was funded by a greening grant from the IUPUI Office of Sustainability. The grant money allowed the Library to purchase heirloom, open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds of seven herb varieties (Bouquet dill, Broadleaf sage, Common chives, Emily Basil, Giant of Italy parsley, Rosy rosemary, and Vulgare oregano), allowing users to obtain the seeds for free. Users include anyone with a Crimson Card; Indiana resident with an IU Libraries Borrower Card; or IUPUI University Library Borrower’s Card. Packets can be picked up at the Service & Information Desk on the 2nd floor.
Since June, seeds have been given out to nearly 150 people, with basil being the most popular. For more information, visit the Seed Library LibGuide.
