Leading Challenging Conversations in the Classroom

Getting students to talk openly and productively with each other about issues that evoke political and personal divides, including topics such as race, gender and class, is difficult, and perhaps becoming more so. But such discussions are vital, for students to understand such topics, the fields we teach, and how to live with one another as citizens. Jennifer Morton of Philosophy and Jennifer Prah Ruger of Social Policy and Practice will facilitate this discussion of ways we can try to meet this challenge in our class discussions.
