Encouraging dialogue and exploring different perspectives in classrooms of all disciplines

From STEM to the humanities, opportunities to help students explore contemporary issues from different perspectives and engage in dialogue with each other can be woven into existing curricula of all disciplines. Such instruction can foster a sense of self-confidence in our students, enhance their learning experience, and equip them with critical civic skills. With this workshop, instructors will explore the benefits and challenges that both students and instructors face when incorporating vibrant discussion into the classroom, learn and practice various evidence-based pedagogical approaches, and envision how they might implement strategies for talking across difference into their own courses with confidence. Led by Talking Across Difference Faculty.

Open to all Rutgers instructors (faculty, part-time lecturers, graduate teaching assistants). Registration required. Registration will open soon!
