This workshop has been canceled. Please join us at the next iteration on November 14.

TFs and TAs teaching in courses covering controversial topics are often understandably apprehensive. Through a series of case studies, this workshop will offer pragmatic advice and concrete tools to cover challenging and divisive subject matter in a way that is engaging and respectful of all students. We will discuss different approaches that incorporate insights developed by FAS faculty, the Bok Center, and the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics.

Workshops are open to graduate students, TAs, postdocs, and faculty.
