Details

In-person / online hybrid event. In an increasingly polarized world, navigating controversial or sensitive topics in the classroom can be daunting. This workshop is designed to equip faculty with practical tools and strategies to foster brave, constructive, and respectful dialogue. We will explore how to set ground rules, manage "hot moments" when conversations become tense, and guide students toward deeper understanding rather than debate-style winning or losing.
