2. Self-Narratives for Christian Multicultural Educators: A Pathway to Understanding Self and Others (Website)

Description: This paper argues that the development of multicultural competency should be solidly grounded on reflective, empathic, and critical understanding of one’s own culture as well as others. This cultural understanding, particularly from a Christian perspective, recognizes the connectivity of self and others in God. To enhance the cultural understanding, the author recommends studying self-narratives written by others and writing one’s own cultural autobiography. Instructors may wish to utilize this article as a springboard for a discussion of religious diversity, as well as invite students to construct a multicultural autobiography similar to that described on the website.
