Ever wonder how you might deal with a sudden eruption of tension or conflict in the classroom?
This workshop will allow participants to explore the role of positionality in navigating challenging situations or scenarios in the classroom (e.g. conflicts, disruptive behavior), across disciplines. Through case studies and a survey of best practices informed by equitable and inclusive approaches to teaching and learning, participants will explore different kinds of 'hot moments' that take place in both in-person and online learning environments. Participants will develop strategies to respond to various kinds of hot moments and discuss the benefits and challenges involved in responding to difficult and unpredictable disruptions (e.g., calling in and calling out), in ways that promote equity and safety for both the student and instructor.
Presenters: Nassisse Solomon and Menahal Latif
