Culture is the learned and shared knowledge that specific groups use to generate their behavior and interpret their experience of the world.  It includes  but is not limited to: 

thought

languages

values

beliefs

customs

practices

courtesies

ritualscommunication

roles

relationships

expectedbehaviors

Culture applies to  racial, ethnic, religious, political, professional, and other social groups. It is transmitted through social and institutional traditions and norms to succeeding generations.  Culture is a paradox, while many aspects remain the same It is also dynamic, constantly changing.

Cultural Diversity 

Goode & Jackson, 2009

The term cultural diversity is used to describe differences in ethnic or racial classification & self‐identification, tribal or clan affiliation, nationality, language, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, socioeconomic status, education, religion, spirituality, physical and intellectual abilities, personal appearance, and other factors that distinguish one group or individual from another.

Debates about Identity: Perspectives on Disability & Race   

Slide Source: 2012  ‐ National Center  for Cultural Competence

VIEWS ON DISABILITY IDENTITY 

The population of people who experience disability is extraordinarilydiverse and, therefore, the idea of a common disability identity isolates disability artificially from intersecting identities related to race, gender,sexuality, class, age, and other axes of social significance. (p.43).

RACIAL IDENTITY vs. DISABILITY IDENTITY 

Slide Source: 2012  ‐ National Center  for Cultural Competence

SOURCE:  Gill, C. & Cross, W. (2010). Disability Identity and Racial‐Cultural Identity Development: Points of Convergence, Divergence and Interplay.  In F. Balcazar, Y. Suarez‐Balcazar, T. Taylor‐Ritzler, & C. Keys (Eds.), Race, Culture, and Disability: Rehabilitation Science and Practice.  Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett Publishers

There is no simple relationship between race and disability. 

Some people of color with disabilities have prioritized their identification and affiliation with persons who share their cultural/racial heritage and have had little contact with disability groups.  

They tend to see disability in terms oflimitation rather than identity.(p.46) 

RACIAL IDENTITY vs. DISABILITY IDENTITY 

Some people of color have substantial contact with disability groups. 

They are more likely to identify as being “disabled” and to reference parallels between race and disability.   

Some say that their experiences of race‐based oppression have prepared them to understand disability as a socialminority experience. This suggests intersectional expressions of identify. (p.46)

Advocacy is the act of pleading or arguing in favor of something such as a cause. 

It is the pursuit of influencing outcomes by putting hard issues on the table. 

Leadership is the mobilization of resources to bring about the change.  

Both leadership and advocacy keep people focused on the issue.

Leadership galvanizes the people to change their ways.

Leadership is a set of personal attributes, 

qualities, and skills either 

intuitive and/or acquired that rouses and motivates 

others. (Northouse, 2001).

The Challenges 

Differing definitions and frameworks

Insufficient knowledge, commitment, and leadership to implement cultural and linguistic competence at the organization or system level

The myth that there is little to no evidence (about cultural and linguistic competence)

Need for additional  validated measures to assess cultural and linguistic competence

Changing social, political,  economic climates

Maintenance

no intention to take action in the foreseeable future; unaware or under-aware of the need for change

aware that problem exists and seriously thinking about overcoming it; but not has not yet made a commitment  

combines intention and behavioral criteria; initiation of ‘baby steps’

modification of behavior, experiences, and environment; short-term changes in place and planning for long-term change

consolidates the gains attained during the action phase and works to prevent relapse

Organizational Change Theories Applied to Cultural & Linguistic Competency 

Resistance is a characteristic of any major organizational change effort and a major reason why organizational change efforts fail. (Prochaska, Prochaska and Levesque, 2001). 

Resistance should be expected in different stages of multicultural organizational change because the topics of prejudice, discrimination and oppression are controversial and emotionally charged. (Brantley, Frost and Razak, 1996).

The Transtheoretical Model of Change suggests that it is  counterproductive to forge ahead with action without addressing issues such as resistance, that stand in the way of individual and organizational readiness for change.

Effective leadership for diversity requires having the integrity to take principled stands. 

A trusted leader admits and corrects mistakes.

It will be impossible to take leadership on the most  difficult issues of oppression without a team of support, for without support, isolation and discouragement  take over
