SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Teach for Democracy: Facilitating Constructive Dialogue in an Age of Polarization
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ginsberg Center and Center for Research on Learning & Teaching present a special Democracy Week event with Nicholas V. Longo\, PhD with generous support from UM’s Democracy & Civic Empowerment Initiative.\n\nIn an age of division and polarization\, it is essential to develop skills for facilitating constructive dialogue. Join us for an interactive workshop with Dr. Nicholas Longo\, who works closely with students building civic skills and confidence as the inaugural director of the Rutgers Democracy Lab. Participants will develop skills such as learning to listen\, ask questions\, invite stories\, and find common ground. We will also introduce facilitation practices and then engage with relevant scenarios that will help us learn to work with others to address conflict in healthy ways. Ultimately\, this workshop is about helping faculty become bridge builders and change agents for a more vibrant democracy. The session is part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center.\n\nLunch is Provided and available at 11:45am. Program begins at 12pm. Space is limited and registration is required. \n\nREGISTER NOW : https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/111893

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Making the Most of 'Hot Moments': Election Edition
DESCRIPTION:Teaching and learning centers use the term 'hot moments' to describe a sudden eruption of tension\, conflict\, or big emotion during class\, often connected to a heightened awareness of the social differences in the room. Election seasons can generate 'hot moments' in every discipline\, whether your courses frequently raise potentially sensitive subjects or never do so deliberately. How can you navigate those interactions in ways that are responsive to students and also advance course learning goals? In this interactive workshop for instructors in all academic disciplines\, participants will reflect on their own experiences of 'hot moments'\, consider a range of pedagogical choices\, and practice language for responding to hot moments in the classroom. \n\nThis session is offered as a part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series by CRLT & Ginsberg Center.\n\nOpen to UM faculty\, graduate students/GSIs\, and post-docs. If you are UM staff with instructional responsibilities who would like to register\, please reach out to teachdemocracy@umich.edu \n\nREGISTER: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/Hn1RKit7/g/2kTsKXAV0p/making-the-most-of-hot-moments-election-edition-5a1oUrFb3O5/overview

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Teach for Democracy: Deliberative Pedagogy in Practice
DESCRIPTION:How can instructors across the disciplines support the public mission of higher education? Join us for a conversation exploring deliberative pedagogy\, a teaching approach designed to prepare and motivate students to collaborate across differences on the pressing issues facing our democracy. Drawing on cases from Deliberative Pedagogy: Teaching and Learning for Democratic Engagement (2017)—co-edited by recent Promoting Democracy Teaching Series speaker Dr. Nicholas Longo—we will consider practical strategies for designing learning experiences that help students navigate complex challenges through dialogue\, deliberation\, and equitable decision-making. \n\nThis session is part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center with support from UM’s Democracy & Civic Empowerment Initiative.\n\nOpen to UM faculty\, graduate students/GSIs\, and post-docs.
