Event Description
Who speaks in the classroom? Who wields the power in a classroom? Whose voices are heard? This session will examine both the internal political conflicts of classroom climate along with what to do when external political beliefs or divisive current events find their way into the classroom space. We will help participants reflect on how they conceptualize their own role as instructor when it comes to the disclosure of political beliefs and how the dynamics of politics in the classroom affect both classroom climate and the individual students involved.
