20 Benevolent Street
Job Description:

The Director, Community Dialogue Project is a strategic leader responsible for advancing the university's institutional priorities for student learning, inclusive community, and open inquiry through collaborations, programs, and services that support the development and use of skills for effective communication, dialogue, conflict resolution, and multipartial facilitation within the entire Brown University community. Reporting to the Associate Vice President for Campus Life and working in close, collaborative partnerships with colleagues across and beyond the Division of Campus Life, the Director leads the Community Dialogue Project in supporting the development of skills and strategies for communicating effectively, responding to conflict, engaging in interactional diversity, and pursuing mutual understanding of issues that affect the Brown community.

The Director develops and leads a campus-wide vision for the Community Dialogue Project that empowers sites of interactional diversity wherein participants can engage productively in difficult discussions and relationship building around challenging topics that sometimes arise in a diverse community. The Director plays a critical role in leading and leveraging dialogue frameworks and skills development to achieve greater engagement, connection and collaboration across differences, and helps the university community navigate challenging topics and moments. The Director provides training, education, and skill development to students, faculty, staff, and senior administrators in student-facing programs across campus on topics of effective communication, conflict resolution and transformation, dialogue facilitation, and mediation and leads others in providing dialogue facilitation, mediation, and conflict coaching. The Director recruits, trains, and supervises cohorts of graduate and undergraduate students, staff, and faculty engaged in CDP activities. The Director leads and develops this work grounded in principles and practices of social justice, equity and compliance in order to equip and enable participants to navigate and engage constructively in conflicts and difficult conversations within the Brown University community in affirming, empowering, community-building ways. This work is critical to support the university's commitment to academic freedom as essential to the function of education and to the pursuit of scholarship. Occasional night and weekend work is required.
