Difficult Dialogues in the Classroom and Beyond

Colleges ought to be the place where the free exchange of ideas and civil discourse is modeled and practiced. Instead, campuses have increasingly become places of tension, polarization, and even violence. Would you like to learn to engage in dialogues around divisive topics within a context of respect and mutual learning? Then join your fellow faculty in this FLC that will provide strategies, resources, and practical tips regarding managing classroom dialogue. Libby Roderick, who led a workshop on Difficult Dialogues for us in January, will be returning this fall for another hands-on session that will help kick off this FLC.
