Critical Conversations

Join us for Critical Conversations

The Office of Conflict Resolution and Dialogue Programs (CRDP) hosts Critical Conversations that offer informal collegial space to engage in dialogue about issues of social justice, equity, and inclusion. Critical Conversations occur either in person or online.

Critical Conversations are open to IU Indianapolis faculty, staff, students, and the Indianapolis community. CRDP welcomes opportunities to collaborate with faculty, staff, and others on relevant topics of interest to the IU Indianapolis community.
