Intergroup Relations

The Intergroup Relations Program serves as an intergroup relations resource center for the UC San Diego campus, providing programs and services relating to hate/ bias prevention, mediation of student intergroup conflict, and issues that affect UCSD's campus climate.

We achieve our mission through the following methods:

• Education
  


• Problem resolution
  


• Campus climate assessment
  


• Collaboration with UCSD departments and other universities
  
  
• Check out the workshops offered by iGroup:

Exploring Social Identities
Our social identities are complex and intertwined; these dimensions of self work together to shape how we see the world and our place in it. This workshop empowers participants to reflect upon and deepen their understanding of their own social identity and social group affiliations.

Not on Our Campus! Identifying Hate and Bias at UCSD
There's a misconception that hate/ bias incidents do not occur within the university environment. This workshop challenges these beliefs via a documentary made at UCSD, "Hate Free Zone." Following the film, participants exchange in dialogue and receive information about hate/ bias resources on campus.

Overcoming Personal Prejudice
Effective leaders strive to understand their own limitations, including personal bias and prejudice. In this workshop, participants learn how to recognize prejudices they may not be aware of on a conscious level, and understand where these beliefs and attitudes come from and how to overcome them.

Roommate Conflict: Cultural Implications for Reconciliation
This workshop deals with interpersonal and cultural conflict between roommates in various living arrangements. When not addressed, these conflicts can have adverse effects on students' adaptability and performance. We'll also provide practical solutions for dealing with emerging conflict and potential problems before they arise.

What's Race Got to Do with It?
This workshop presents excerpts from the documentary, "What's Race Got to do with It?," chronicling the journey of a group of students enrolled in an intergroup dialogue course on race. The students share their personal stories with candid dialogue about identity, privilege, oppression, prejudice, and pride. Participants engage in their own facilitated dialogue following the documentary.
