CLASP Workshop on "Interviewing Portraits: Engaging with Difficult Conversations in the Classroom"

8:30 AM New York l 2:30 PM Vienna

The Center for Liberal Arts and Sciences Pedagogy invites all OSUN faculty to attend a free-of-charge workshop on "Interviewing Portraits: Engaging with Difficult Conversations in the Classroom." This workshop is targeted at faculty teaching OSUN Online and Network Connected Courses, but the content in the module is broadly applicable. All faculty are welcome to attend.

It can be challenging for us, as educators, to discuss tragic events such as wars, hunger, migration, violence, and poverty with our students. Many of us teach in classrooms where students face societal, political, or economic crises. That is why, in practice, our role often extends beyond teaching. In many instances, we must find ways to address these challenging circumstances without suppressing the associated emotions, instead integrating them into the learning process and creating a safe space where that learning can happen. This workshop will explore the application of IWT practices in observing, understanding, discussing, and writing about political, economic, and societal crises. More specifically, it will explore how IWT’s writing-based teaching practices can support processing, understanding, and coping with tragic moments through individual and collaborative working habits for students.
