THE
PLURALISM & UNITY PROGRAM
PROGRAM MISSION:
To create a community of people who are
committed to exploring and understanding issues of race, identity, and
multiculturalism and toward working to end racism in a global context.
We ask the questions:
· Why do identities matter?
· Why
does race matter?
· What
is multiculturalism?
PROGRAM GOALS:
1) Create a purposeful and guided
out-of-classroom experience related to racial and ethnic identity
exploration and multiculturalism
· Create the potential for future Macalester
and non-Macalester
experiences in those areas
· Students will learn more about the Twin Cities
through field trips in
nearby neighborhoods
2) Build strong and effective
relationships with a diverse peer group
· Self exploration (Who am I? What are my
identities?)
· Getting to know others and learning about
their key identities
3) Develop a sub-culture of
students with an understanding of socially
pertinent issues and the ability to engage in
productive dialogue about
these issues.
