RACE MATTERS IN ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND TRANSFORMATIVE PRACTICES





SY BOWLAND


In light of how much race matters in our culturally diverse society, what do we need to know in order for our work in alternative dispute/transformation to best serve our clients? When we unpack the concept of “race”, we find factors such as cultural intelligence, diversity within identity groups, special knowledge and more. Many of the clients we serve are racially different from ourselves, creating a pressing need to understand the obvious and subtle ways in which race in all its dimensions plays a role.  This session will explore innovative ways to engage and learn from the communities most affected and least consulted about how race matters.
