On this holiday which honors Martin Luther King, jr., I am sitting in a class preparing for writing a dissertation.  I enjoy seeing these guys from my cohort and meeting new friends, but this isn’t how I would have wanted to enjoy this day.

I had a great time teaching a class two weeks ago at Golden Gate Seminary in Brea on Intercultural Communication! These diverse, intelligent, and world-changing women and men brought such great insights into stereotypes, conflict resolution, and connecting with others who live and believe differently.
