There are a wealth of resources, experts, and programs that seek to advance dialogue across difference through a range of methodological approaches and perspectives, both inside and outside UCLA. The DaD Initiative aims to make dialogue efforts and expertise more visible and accessible to Bruins.
The UCLA Dialogue Resources Inventory
The UCLA Dialogue Resources Inventory seeks to be a one-stop-shop to explore and learn about UCLA’s existing dialogue activities. Use it to find UCLA-based experts, courses, programs/initiatives, or student organizations who are engaged in dialogue or bridge-building activities.
UCLA is a very large organization, and this inventory is non-exhaustive and constantly growing. If you know of an expert, course, initiative/program, or student organization that should be added to this list, please fill out this survey.
External Dialogue Resources
The External Dialogue Resources Inventory is designed to make it easier to discover and access dialogue and dialogue-adjacent resources beyond UCLA. It brings together organizations, programs, tools, publications, and other resources that may be helpful to members of the UCLA community and others interested in learning about and strengthening their capacity for dialogue across difference.
This inventory was researched and compiled by interns with UCLA’s Bedari Kindness Institute (BKI) and is intended to grow and evolve as new resources emerge. We offer it as an informational starting point rather than a comprehensive or evaluative list. Inclusion in the inventory does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Bedari Kindness Institute or UCLA.
Know of a resource that should be included? We welcome suggestions for organizations, programs, publications, tools, and other dialogue-related resources to help us continue building this collection. Please contact the BKI intern team at bkiintern@ucla.edu to suggest an addition.
