*About the series*
*
*
*CPL’s **Leading Across Difference*is a series of moderated panel
discussions designed to help students better understand how various
dimensions of difference—religion, race, class, gender, and culture, to
name just a few—affect group dynamics at both the overt and covert levels.
How do these dimensions interact to create misunderstanding that impedes
collaborative endeavors? Alternatively, are there ways in which difference
can be an asset to group work? And are there lessons relevant to leading
across any form of difference, or does each form of difference require
unique leadership approaches? These and other questions will be addressed
by faculty members and leading practitioners from the University community
and beyond. The overarching goal of these discussions will be to hone
attendees’ analytical skills for diagnosing and responding to the subtle
ways in which difference can influence group process.****
