Civil Discourse in the College Classroom: Creating and Maintaining Brave Spaces and Inclusive Dialogue
Moderated by Provost Dr. Rutenbeck and featuring a panel of Arcadia faculty and students:
- Judge Christopher Cerski
- Dr. Angela Kachuyevski
- Dr. Ellen Skilton
- Dr. Stephen Tyson
- Kevin Hardie, sophomore psychology major
- Victoria Fallouh, senior PGL major/Spanish minor
This panel is focused on helping students navigate civil discourse in the classroom, especially during this presidential election. Panelists will explore how to create and maintain a safe and respectful environment in the classroom; how to invite students to share their different perspectives but also encourage them to view issues through a lens other than their own; and how to use framing and language to generate engaging, respectful discussions.
