by akiyama725 ~ February 10th, 2011. Filed under: Notes.
Culture clubs at UBC:
1) What are the benefits and costs of having culture clubs at UBC?
2) Are culture clubs perpetuating the notion of cliques within the university? What are the implicit “criteria” that these clubs are requiring for prospective members?
3) How can culture clubs reach their potential?
4) If more people today identify with “hybrid” identity or a blend of more than one cultural background, what choices are there for these students in terms of participating in culture clubs? In other words, how do you imagine the culture clubs to look like in the future?
5) How can UBC, as an institution, help culture clubs expand their membership to various ethnic groups?
Forum Questions:
1) Do you think culture clubs contribute to promoting intercultural understanding in campus? If so, then in what ways? If not, what has made you think so?
2) If you think culture clubs need improvement, which aspect would you modify and how?
