Leading Difficult Discussions

Invitation: Faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to join us for this session. Please register by 9/25.

Facilitators: Liz Norell, Josh Eyler

Particularly during a contentious presidential election semester, instructors often need to lead discussions on difficult topics. In some disciplines, these discussions are more common, as themes on race, culture, gender, and/or sexual orientation can sometimes create challenge or discomfort. However, when current events raise the temperature everywhere, even classes not specifically meant to address such topics may see challenging conversations unfold. In this workshop, we will share specific resources and suggestions on leading these potentially difficult discussions in inclusive, engaging ways that serve our instructional goals. 

Lunch will be provided for registered participants. Please register by 9/25.

This event is open to all University of Mississippi-affiliated faculty/staff and graduate students.
