What is Intergroup Dialogue?
Intergroup Dialogue is situated among other group work approaches that are designed to describe intentional group work explorations regarding contemporary multicultural and social justice issues. Similar approaches have been called courageous conversations or difficult dialogues that also are used to broach sensitive and often heavily charged sociopolitical topics. However, IGD is unique in its goals, as there are six main aims of IGD: (a) engage participants with issues of social identity development and social standing, (b) provide group members with an opportunity to learn about each other as a member of different social identity groups, (c) increase participant understanding of the driving forces behind difference and dominance, (d) help participants develop the ability to analyze issues from various perspectives, (e) help group members develop useful skills to work with cultural variations and conflicts, and (f) support participants in developing empowered approaches to building alliances and working collaboratively across differences of culture and power.

Intergroup Relations and Culture
-
Intergroup Relations and CultureAll humans can fall prey to stereotyping, discrimination, and racism, but culture determines acceptable levels of expressed bias. Collective representations about the past influence current intergroup relations. Minority members have differing attitudes about retaining their culture of origin and becoming part of the mainstream society. These attitudes interact with those of the majority population and with official minority policies. The most harmonious intergroup relations are predicted when both majority and minority members share integration, assimilation, or individualist orientations.
