Diving into Identity for Intercultural Learning

Who are you? What do you value? The need for engaging in identity work cannot be overemphasized in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and intercultural learning. The task of bridging differences between cultures begins with knowing and owning one’s identity. For the first part of the module, you will engage in a cultural artifact activity and for the second part you will learn about the cycle of socialization.
