Difficult Conversations can be challenging to have in classrooms. This presentation will model how to prepare your students for productive discussions. By enacting three strategies—norm setting, historical context, and sense-making—any topic can be discussed in a respectful and productive manner.
This workshop explores the purposes of a diversity statement for academic employment, reviews pedagogical practices for teaching diverse students, and examines how scholars can talk about diversity in their teaching and research. Armed with this information, participants review and critique sample diversity statements before work-shopping their own ideas and drafts of the diversity statement. Participants should bring any materials related to the diversity statement that they have already prepared.
Registration opens soon.

Instructors take on many roles, some expected and others less so. This session will discuss the multiple responsibilities TA’s take on as instructors in the classroom, including those associated with teaching, mentorship, discipline, listening, and making the classroom an inclusive space. Additionally, we will discuss effective ways to balance these roles, and how to set appropriate boundaries between instructor and student.
