Difficult Dialogues: Enhancing Discussions about Diversity.
Goodman, Diane J.
College Teaching, v43 n2 p47-52 Spr 1995
Techniques for managing college classroom discussions about cultural diversity and oppression are offered, using a model of social identity development that helps to understand student responses and classroom dynamics. The model posits five stages of social identity development experienced by individuals in both disadvantaged and advantaged groups: naivete, acceptance, resistance, redefinition, and internalization.
