Institute for Developing Across Differences

Menu

OUR MISSION

Worldwide, there are greater-than-ever business and social needs to connect across Differences. An interdisciplinary learning center and vibrant professional community, the Institute for Developing Across Differences (IDD) supports those whose work helps people and institutions embrace Differences.

OUR Values

Together we thrive

Answers can only be found by doing the hard and necessary work of coming together—intellectually and experientially (whether virtually or in-person)—and putting our convictions into practice by learning together. The IDD creates links among multiple disciplines and expands  boundaries between expert faculty and community members.

Experiential and praxis-based

Learning is a process. Our programming is grounded in research and theory that informs our practice—and vice versa, creating a virtuous circle in order to continually evolve the field.

Multi-tiered and holistic

People develop and change within structures, and structures are changed by people. Developing across Differences requires an ‘and more’ approach, meaning the IDD addresses change at three levels: personally, communally/institutionally and socially. We are committed to an approach that acknowledges the complexity of our work.

Developmental and ongoing

A growth mindset is the basis of our work and how we approach all stakeholders. Growth requires constant exploration and critical reflection alongside sense-making and action. And while seminal, symbolic moments are necessary to live and work in a more just world, the work we do—and help others do—is an ongoing and evolving process that requires we take the longview while remaining flexible and aware of our impact in the here-and-now.

Phuong Vy (Vyvy) Tran

Vyvy is a student based in Denmark who is studying social psychology and cultural encounters. While it took her a bit of time to realize how big her passion for intercultural learning was, she reports that once she opened this box, her curiosity has become unstoppable. 

She volunteers at the IDD because she’s fascinated by the intersectional approach of the Institute, especially between DEI and intercultural topics. She will be supporting the IDD global community.

When she's not working or studying, you'll find Vyvy dancing, in salsa or contemporary dance classes, at social dance events, or even at the bus stop.
