Engaging in and Facilitating Difficult Conversations in Adult Education
Today's political and social climate has many educators wondering what is appropriate to talk about, teach, and facilitate with students related to diversity and inclusion. How do we meet the diverse needs of learners while also complying with changing initiatives that may hinder our ability to have difficult conversations? Join Dr. Liza Talusan as we examine the current climate of education, teaching, and learning and how we, as adult educators, can continue to build the habits and skills of identity-conscious dialogues with our students.
