Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism encompasses many aspects of identity—race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, ability/disability, class, age, language and citizenship status, etc. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) takes seriously the intersection of identities; as the work of building Beloved Community moves forward, our resources will reflect a growing understanding of the complexity of multiculturalism as personal, cultural, and institutional identity.
The resources, curricula, trainings, and tools you find here are offered and supported by the Multicultural Growth & Witness staff group. We hope you will engage with these materials, spread the word, and share your stories of transformation—we'd love to hear from you!
