Pages 300-312 | Published online: 31 Aug 2015
 

Abstract

Teaching diversity courses in graduate preparation programs is likely to trigger difficult dialogues that evoke a range of emotional responses. Difficult dialogues on diversity topics must be managed effectively in order to enhance multicultural competence. This interpretive study examined the experiences of faculty who teach diversity courses in higher education programs. The findings highlight challenges experienced by faculty, as well as strategies for managing difficult dialogues.
