In today's polarized climate, fostering an inclusive learning environment that encourages the expression of a wide range of perspectives, including conservative viewpoints alongside others, can lead to richer discussions and deeper understanding. This workshop offers practical strategies for educators to cultivate a classroom atmosphere where all student voices, including those often underrepresented in academia, feel heard and respected. We'll explore setting ground rules, structuring balanced discussions, and addressing microaggressions. By enhancing our ability to facilitate meaningful conversations across the ideological spectrum, we can transform potential sources of division into rich opportunities for learning and critical thinking, contributing to an inclusive campus culture that benefits from a full range of perspectives. Advance registration required. Register Now!
