IGR Minors
Intergroup relations (IGR) is designed for students with a curricular interest in
race, social justice and dialogic pedagogies. Intergroup relations courses provide
students with a foundation in understanding conceptual and theoretical knowledge related
to race, racism and racial identity development in the U.S. The program also helps
students bridge theory (content) with practice (process) by applying communication
and facilitation skills within intergroup and intragroup dialogue settings. In addition,
skills learned in intergroup relations courses are applicable to the “real world”—including
preparing students to enter graduate programs focused on social action, work in diverse
workplaces and successfully navigate a global society.
