Rossie Norris and Roger Smith
5:15 – 7:15 pm | Tuesdays, January 6 through February 3 

With the complementary goals of determining who “belongs” and who is “other” in a divided society, this dynamic course offers meaningful exchange and understanding through selected readings, group discussions, and curated classroom activities. It employs the concept of Dialogue (Holley, Martinez, and Moore-Vissing) in seeking conversational strategies. The facilitators encourage curiosity, deep listening, and empathy to overcome barriers of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.

Rossie Norris earned a master’s degree in educational psychology from the University of Washington. She taught in higher education for more than thirty years and frequently facilitated courses in race, class, and gender. She retired to Savannah from Seattle in 2005.
