Description
As part of research or inquiry-based assignments, students are often instructed to locate a certain number of sources. Often, they are told to find specific types of sources, such as scholarly journal articles. However, such guidance may create the impression that sources are objective and can be viewed without consideration of the perspective of the creator. In this workshop, participants will consider what it would mean if we encourage students to seek differing voices, not sources. How could this change the way students search for sources? How could this change how students evaluate sources? Participants should leave with ideas for how they can help students to consider the value of incorporating multiple perspectives as part of the research process.
