Creating cultural competency is essential on college campuses, in our communities and in the workplace. Margaret Miller Butcher, assistant professor of communication in U of A's Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, and Jackie Mosley, professor of human development and family sciences in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Science's School of Human Environmental Sciences, created a set of videos exploring student notions of cultural competency to help move them along a continuum from monocultural to intercultural mindsets, based on the Intercultural Development Inventory.The result is a series of five videos on creating cultural competency. With the help from U of A Global Campus video services, these videos were shot and edited along the perspectives of denial, polarization, minimization, acceptance and adaptation. The videos and accompanying video guide are now available as Open Educational Resources. They are free to use for diversity, equity and inclusion trainings in classrooms that focus on social justice topics and in a variety of community contexts.
