Fostering Constructive Engagement With Difficult and Sensitive Topics in Your Teaching and Research Spaces |

Engaging with contentious and difficult topics in the classroom and in various research and learning environments is an essential part of the learning experience. It provides opportunities for deepening understanding of complex issues and learning about different perspectives and approaches, but it can also potentially create dynamics that are not conducive to constructive, rigorous and inclusive dialogue. Faculty must also navigate the tensions and synergies between the values of free inquiry and belonging in their research and learning spaces.
In this interactive workshop, experienced faculty will share strategies and best practices to foster learning environments where such meaningful and constructive dialogues can take place. They will also invite and engage with your questions and thoughts on how to manage challenging conversations and interactions in productive ways that maximize learning and understanding.

Do you feel like you can use more mentoring? Having multiple, informal mentors is an effective, evidence-based strategy for career success and satisfaction, both within and beyond academia. There are few clear rules for building such a network, and the notion of making “cold calls” to prospective mentors can feel intimidating. In this lunchtime workshop for new and junior faculty, we’ll provide models, advice and tools to help you build a mentoring network that works for you.
