Listening Session: Art Therapy Education Practices

What is a Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Listening Session?

A listening session is like a focus group: a facilitated discussion with a group of people, aimed at collecting information about their experiences, views, and responses to questions about topics related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Group: Art Therapy Education Practices

Program Directors, Faculty, and Instructors of Undergraduate, Graduate, and Doctorate art therapy academic programs of colleges and universities in the United States. This group is open to educators who are not members of the AATA, as well as members of the Association who are involved in the teaching, advising, and development of department programming for students of art therapy.

Important Note on Participant Confidentiality

Ground rules and guidelines are established in each group to help foster participant trust. Participants must agree to group confidentiality and not to take notes, photography, or audio and video recordings. 

The DEI facilitator taking notes will use a method that provides a reporting of the overall group’s responses and themes but does not track or identify specific participants (i.e. who said what) but provides a reporting of the overall group’s responses and themes. Facilitator notes are available for participants to review and verify.
