SUMMARY:CANCELED: Mentioning the Unmentionable: Facilitating Difficult Conversations in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presenters will demonstrate how to create a climate of courageous inquiry through introduction and defnition of the terms bias\, prejudice\, and discrimination using emotionally-neutral\, often humorous examples.  Following a brief didactic presentation of Kidder’s (1995) three modes of thinking that can guide when to step into a potentially emotionally-charged topic\, presenters will provide a series of vignettes to simultaneously model strategies educators can employ in their own classrooms\, and engage participants in a lived experience of taking part in a discussion about a potentially challenging topic.  Participants will have opportunities to debrief and process their responses to being active participants in discussions of challenging topics.  In addition\, presenters will facilitate a reflection time in which participants may begin to evaluate their own practices and synthesize workshop content. \nPresenters\n\n\nJudith Josiah-Martin\, PhD\, ACSW\, CADC\, has been a part of the University of Maine School of Social Work faculty for 10 years\, prior to which she served the UMaine community as the Director of Multicultural Student Life.
