Difficult Conversations:聽 Minimizing Harm/Creating Accountability 鈥� Attend this March 11th virtual workshop from the Dawson Creative Collective for Change
Unjust power structures can be challenged or reproduced in the classroom. Harms can be done, traumas triggered, mistakes made, shame inflicted and apologies given. The goal of this workshop is to work through the complexities present when an educator stumbles into the polarizing social issues of today. By exploring some cases of "cancel culture" in institutions of higher education and beyond, we are prompted to ask: are there distinctions to be made between giving offense and doing harm? Do good intentions matter? Can a defense grounded in the right to academic freedom seem dismissive? Is there room for mistakes and forgiveness?
Access this virtual workshop from the Faculty Hub website.
