Fwd: RE: Cross-Cultural Diversity Teaching and Assessment

[William Warren]

One possible source for ideas would be the ATS (American Theological  
Schools, see some info on their web site at http://www.ats.edu/ 
resources/tearch/TEArchives.pdf and http://www.ats.edu/resources/ 
foliocol.pdf) .  This accrediting agency requires an emphasis on  
"globalization" as part of the accreditation requirements.  I recall  
some articles in the past in their journal on this subject from the  
early 90's based upon a project to help theological faculties learn  
about this area by leading them (faculty, students, and  
administrators were all involved) through various types of cross- 
cultural encounters.  They published some case studies for use on  
this that I found helpful when leading our faculty through a workshop  
on understanding diversity from both an emic and an etic perspective  
(and helping them to understand that there is a difference between  
these two for those we impact and who impact us).   The case study  
approach seemed to work well in the limited time that was allowed for  
the presentation (about 2 hours).
