Strategies for Working With Students When Things Get Difficult

Given our politically polarized environment, teaching about almost anything right now can feel politicized and risky, pushing us to reconsider what we teach and how we teach it. In this session, presented by Cyndi Kernahan, we will discuss what we can do to set up our courses in ways that feel secure while still allowing for a full and honest treatment of our course material. We will also discuss how to handle the moments that pop up unexpectedly in response to outside events, challenging us to help our students make sense of things from a place of greater understanding and knowledge.
