Higher & Continuing Education, Education 

"This valuable volume focuses on an aspect of intergroup dialogue that is rarely discussed in depth: the experiences of facilitators, who are often undergraduate students. The book incorporates guidelines for facilitator training with rich examples of facilitation challenges and consequences, including long-term outcomes for the facilitators themselves. Drawing on an array of models for dialogue on campus and in the community, contributing authors offer important resources particularly for those doing facilitator training on campuses, but also for anyone interested in this important pedagogical strategy."?Diversity and Democracy"Facilitators and facilitator trainers in higher education are the primary audience of this book. It would be highly useful, however for anyone dealing with diversity in classroom and community groups because of the values, intergroup dynamics, and educational processes it invokes."—Teaching Theology & ReligionThis volume, the first dedicated entirely to intergroup dialogue facilitation, draws on the experiences of contributors and on emerging research to address the multi-dimensional role of facilitators and co-facilitators, the training and support of facilitators, and ways of improving practice in both educational and community settings. It constitutes a comprehensive guide for practitioners, covering the theoretical, conceptual, and practical knowledge they need. An ACPA Publication - from Amzon
