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
