Critical Pedagogy for Challenging Times
The diversity of students’ experiences and identities inevitably invites topics of public debate to our learning environments, and they often become a large part of class discussions whether we welcome them or not. While these moments can create tension in the classroom, ignoring or declining to engage them does not assuage the conflict and stress that continue to shape our students’ education and lived experiences. This workshop considers the generative possibility of engaging tense topics and explores strategies to effectively facilitate classroom conversations and navigate "hot" moments.
