Discussing controversial issues and topics in the classroom presents powerful learning opportunities for students. Although these conversations can be challenging, they allow students to examine ideas, gain insights and find common ground among differing viewpoints. 

Join this session to discuss ways to prepare and facilitate class discussions on controversial topics from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, on Zoom.  

Presenters include Kathleen Sauls, director of counseling at WVU Tech, and William Hal Gorby, teaching associate professor in the WVU Department of History.
