This Deep Dive Session was held during the 2016 Healthy Minds | Healthy Campuses Summit in Vancouver, BC. Drawing on the tradition of practical philosophy, critical theory and hermeneutics, the workshop focused on practical dialogic tools and illustrate the intersection of theory and practice. In our multi-cultural campus communities and in light of the clash of ideas about alcohol and other drugs there is a real need to be able to hear each other in order to get beyond stereotypes and be able to develop broad understanding that celebrates diversity within our complex communities.
