PIR Courses

The Program on Intergroup Relations and Educational Psychology department jointly offer these courses, which may be taken for 1 credit hour. These courses are offered for 7 weeks during the second-half of the semester.

Dialogue courses have both academic and experiential components. They are face-to-face meetings that introduce students to various aspects of the group identities under consideration. Students are encouraged to bring their personal experiences and perspectives to the courses at the same time that they consider the histories, social contexts, and theoretical frameworks for understanding the topics under discussion.

Trained staff facilitators lead the courses with PIR Educators who are students that serve as co-facilitators. If you are interested in being a PIR Educator register for the Psychology 496: Section IDP: Intergroup Dialogue Processes course. This course is a 3-credit course. If you are a graduate student interested in co-teaching dialogue classes you must enroll in the Psychology 496 training series courses. For more information contact, Dr. Joycelyn Landrum-Brown.
