Can We Really Talk? Discussing Race in the Classroom Through the Lens of the Media (Hosted Online via Zoom) In-Person
This session explores how to acknowledge, teach, and talk about race and racism with students (including our own understanding of this sensitive topic) in the classroom through the lens of the media. We will discuss how the media frames and influences the perspectives students bring to class, and consider the challenges and benefits of navigating such topics. Using examples from recent news stories, we will analyze the nature of the news coverage and share strategies for having productive class discussions about current events related to race in America.
This workshop series is co-sponsored by the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy and Leadership (IDEAL).
Guest Facilitator: David Brown, Diversity Advisor to the Office of the Dean and Assistant Professor of Instruction at Klein College
