The goal is to foster an appreciation for the complexity of identity and cultural differences that shape our lives and work. These programs will promote self-awareness, equip individuals with tools to challenge preconceptions and misconceptions, and offer opportunities to learn and practice culturally sensitive communication skills. Because these skills are particularly important for effective client-centered lawyering, students who participate in these programs may earn pro bono training hours.</p> <h4>Spring 2025 Topic</h4> <p>Please visit in Fall 2024 for an update on our next Bridging Divides Series!</p> <p> </p> <h4><span style="background-color: initial;">Past Topics </span></h4> <div class="lw_accordion"> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">Spring 2024</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <h4>Examining Religious Bias Through the Lenses of Antisemitism and Islamophobia</h4> <p><span class="ui-provider rx blz bjk bma bmb bmc bmd bme bmf bmg bmh bmi bmj bmk bml bmm bmn bmo bmp bmq bmr bms bmt bmu bmv bmw bmx bmy bmz bna bnb bnc bnd bne bnf" dir="ltr">Religious identity spans many aspects of life and culture and is deeply rooted in history. The complexity and nuance of religious belief, practice, and identity are sometimes replaced by stereotypes and binaries, particularly in times of conflict. This series aimed to examine and resist this reductive tendency by expanding cultural awareness and promoting skills that are key to working effectively across difference. Given the recent rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia, the first two events in this series examined each one in depth. The presentations explored the complexity of these categories and the interconnectedness of religious and other forms of identity-based bias. They also identified common themes that arose across religious bias in order to deepen our understanding of each other’s experiences and perspectives. The series culminated in a workshop that more deeply examined the interconnected elements of religious bias.</span></p> <p><strong><span class="ui-provider rx blz bjk bma bmb bmc bmd bme bmf bmg bmh bmi bmj bmk bml bmm bmn bmo bmp bmq bmr bms bmt bmu bmv bmw bmx bmy bmz bna bnb bnc bnd bne bnf" dir="ltr">Part I.
