Event Information
MTI Lunch | College of Liberal Arts<br><span style="color: #993300;">Teaching <em>Hot Button</em> Topics in the University Classroom</span>
Presenter(s):
Daniel McLane, Department of Sociology
Description:
Teaching topics related to issues of class, religion, gender, sexuality, race, political orientation, physical ability or national origin can seem like a minefield, especially in a diverse university setting.
However, the diversity of our student body can be a real asset when beginning open, frank and fruitful discussions about topics like gay marriage, abortion, racial discrimination or foreign policy.
This presentation will discuss some techniques that can help create a classroom environment where students are comfortable enough to be fully themselves while still being open to learning from others' perspectives.
RSVP: Please email or call Shirley Guitron, 491-3132, in the TILT office by 5:00 P.M., Thursday, December 2, 2010.
Note: Please let her know that you are registering for the College of Liberal Arts MTI Luncheon and whether you would like a vegetarian meal.
