DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 2022-2023 academic year\, Know Your Neighbor has
  become an established bi-weekly program of the Office of Community and Be
 longing. Through gently facilitated dialogue\, participants explore their 
 relationship with religion\, faith\, spirituality\, and culture. Participa
 nts are able to share about their diverse traditions and belief systems wh
 ile engaging in thoughtful conversation about curated topics such as faith
  expression\, religious concepts of love\, gender and religion\, and more.
  Each program begins with a review of the Community Intentions and a brief
  dialogue starter where background information is provided to help guide t
 he conversation to follow. Participants have a chance to reflect on severa
 l prompting questions on their own before turning to a neighbor or two to 
 share in small group discussions. After having time to develop thoughts an
 d responses to the central questions of the session with their neighbors\,
  we turn to a large group discussion: the neighborhood. Using the Communit
 y Intentions\, participants engage in a short dialogue and have the opport
 unity to share about their own experiences and hear about those of others.
 \n\nThis session of Know Your Neighbor would be scripted and facilitated i
 n accordance with Intergroup Dialogue protocols and aim to explore convers
 ations about the intersections between religion\, race\, and ethnicity. Th
 e process goal of this intergroup dialogue would be to engage in a generat
 ive conversation and practice listening\, speaking\, and asking questions 
 with the purpose of developing shared meaning and understanding across dif
 ferences. The content goal of this dialogue would be to explore similar an
 d different perspectives about the intersections of race\, ethnicity\, and
  religion. In doing this\, we would also explore the intersections of priv
 ileged and oppressed identities including some of the following questions:
  what does it mean to have racial privilege and be in a minority ethnicity
  or be the subject of religious oppression\; what does it mean to be a par
 t of a marginalized racial group and in a privileged religious community?
