Description
What do we do when a student makes an uncomfortable, or even outright racist/sexist/etc. remark? How do we confront microaggressions in class? Rather than 'calling out' students who might produce discomfort in the classroom, this workshop focuses on how instructors can generatively call them 'in,' and negotiate difficult moments into teachable ones. We will discuss: how to identify students comments as ones which can be channeled into productive conversations; tactics for redirecting and anchoring lessons; and how to plan around such moments (how to prepare and debrief students)?.
