*Teaching Panel: Challenging Classroom Conversations: Why they are important and how to do them
This interdisciplinary faculty panel will focus on specific skills to shape challenging and controversial conversations in the classroom. We will provide concrete examples of both planned and spontaneous sensitive topics that have come up in class, how to handle inappropriate comments, and how to navigate these conversations in a culturally sensitive way to protect the integrity of the learning environment.
