ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DIALOGUE, CONNECT, ENGAGE
“Dr. John Cooper’s remarkable insights into diversity, equity and power lay the foundation for Dialogue, Connect, Engage, a groundbreaking exploration of social inequities. Drawing upon his extensive expertise in critical analysis of power and privilege, Dr. Cooper seamlessly blends scholarly rigour with a profound commitment to social justice. Dialogue, Connect, Engage offers invaluable guidance for practitioners seeking to explore the nuances of power dynamics, marginalization, and discrimination. By weaving together insights from industry professionals, practical strategies, and authentic case studies, Dr. Cooper equips readers with the tools and mindset needed to move toward a collective consciousness of change. In essence, Dialogue, Connect, Engage is more than just a textbook—it is a call to action for students and practitioners alike. It challenges us to confront our privilege, interrogate our biases, and work towards a future where equity, diversity, and inclusion are not just ideals but lived realities.” ---Sharmaine Itwaru, EdD

“Whether we are emerging practitioners or seasoned veterans, professional communicators must guide our relationships wisely in this intertwined, multicultural world, a global village so interconnected that the simplest of messaging errors can cause immense hurt and damage. This new book addresses these issues and more. Each chapter is relevant and
contains effective case studies, questions, and exercises. It covers communicating with Indigenous and 2SLGBTQI+ communities, the challenges facing the policing environment, and the need to communicate sensitively during disasters, pandemics and in racialized situations.” ---Mark LaVigne, MA, APR, FCPRS, LM
