Turning our classrooms into inclusive spaces where we can learn from diversity means that we need to be prepared for sometimes difficult discussions, and to manage contentious interactions that might arise so that these exchanges can contribute to, rather than disrupting, the learning experiences of our students. This 90-minute workshop run by faculty facilitators will provide basic guidelines, discussion, and demonstrations of how we can effectively deal with hot moments in the classroom, turning them into opportunities for learning about diversity and inclusiveness instead of shutting them down. With Marta Caminero-Santangelo and Darren Canady, Department of English, and Shannon Portillo, School of Public Affairs and Administration.
