IWT CLASP invites faculty from OSUN/Network Connected Courses to join us on
October 7 or 14
from
8:30–10:30 AM New York l 2:30–4:30 PM Vienna
for the PEN America workshop
Teaching Across Boundaries: Fostering Open and Respectful Exchange
.
PEN America has developed Teaching Across Boundaries: "Fostering Open and Respectful Exchange" to help faculty navigate tensions between free expression, academic freedom, and diversity and inclusion. How do faculty foster critical thinking and intellectual inquiry while creating space for multiple and divergent experiences? How can they set parameters that allow students to engage across viewpoints? This workshop will offer a solid grounding in how to safeguard freedom of expression while reckoning with students’ diverse and often contentious views across cultural and political boundaries.
