This is the book that will help you understand and navigate our increasingly diverse world. Instead of recognizing and celebrating our differences, we often feel separated from one another. We have not learned to bridge the understanding of how our unique individual experiences cause us to see the world through differing lenses. Illustrated with powerful life stories from the late Allison Boisvert, Jodi Pfarr's The Urgency of Awareness offers readers keys to increase understanding and improve individual interactions, policies, and practices in our organizations. Ultimately, these powerful yet easily digestible chapters will encourage healthier engagement between people with differing identities, from individual to community level. Discussion questions throughout the book invite readers to consider how the lens of societal experiences affect interactions. These prompts could be utilized in varied settings such as family discussions, book groups, or staff meetings. The Urgency of Awareness equips readers to embrace a broader understanding of the diversity in our world to support healthy human interactions at every level of life.
