ABSTRACT
The intergroup relations (IGR) program gives an amazing experience where it opens the eyes to the world. Interacting with people from more diverse ideological backgrounds, through work with local businesses or community organizations, for instance, might also prove useful for facilitators of color and multiracial facilitators who had to later learn how to take prudent risks in order to stay true to their social justice beliefs while navigating racial microaggressions within the workplace. This chapter discusses the suggested curricular revisions and additions, and highlights the importance of ongoing social justice communities. At a time when students are increasingly demanding that US colleges and universities offer more diversity-focused courses and workshops, intergroup dialogue (IGD) facilitators' post-college reflections can provide insight into some of the challenges and opportunities associated with social justice education.
