Abstract	What kinds of diversity initiatives and cross-racial interactions foster learning among diverse students? In response to that question, the authors trace various social psychological theories that inform campus diversity programs. Making a case for moving beyond traditional "intergroup harmony" or "intragroup solidarity" approaches, the authors elaborate on a model that uses group identities as resources for intergroup understanding and collaboration. This model, which we call "intergroup dialogue," engages students in exploring commonalities and differences in group identities and experiences, working constructively with intergroup conflicts, and building collective identities as socially just people. The article concludes with an agenda for future research addressing both substantive and methodological issues. (Contains 1 note.) (Author).
