UCLA Dialogue Resources Inventory

UCLA is home to a wealth of resources, experts, and programs that seek to advance dialogue across differences through a range of methodological approaches and perspectives. The purpose of this digital Dialogue Resources Inventory is to gather information about UCLA’s existing dialogue capacity in one place, to increase visibility of these efforts across campus, and to support Bruins to access dialogue resources and opportunities – a one-stop-shop to explore and learn about different resources related to dialogue and bridge building on campus.
