Engaging
with Problematic Moments to More Effectively Work Across Differences
April 15, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.,
SOM, 409 Commonwealth Ave.
In your group interactions, can you recall a moment where the group
felt collective discomfort and did not know how to move on? When all
conversation stopped, or everyone suddenly began talking at once? This
is called a problematic moment, and it occurs in groups when an uncomfortable
theme that members are collectively avoiding is raised. In this one-day
workshop we will explore the idea of a problematic moment in order to
identify the difficult questions that need to be asked when building
coalitions between affinity groups and managing differences in work
teams. For details or to register, contact CGO at cgo@simmons.edu
or visit http://www.simmons.edu/som/email/cgo/problem.html.
